Dr. Ross - Boogie Disease
This one will make your teeth rattle. A veteran of the early '50s Sun
Studio in Memphis, Ross became known as the "one-man band," a routine
gleaned from his mentor Joe Hill Louis. He plays both fine harp (out of
the Sonny Boy I mold) and exciting rhythm guitar characterized by
churning, mesmerizing rhythms spiced by treble fills. These 22
infectious tracks are the good doctor's very first recordings, and they
present him with rhythm section -- a style that pre-dates his "one-man"
days. Larry Hoffman, AMG
