Walking to New Orleans [Box set] [Original recording remastered]

Amazon.com
In an art form characterized from its earliest days by sexually charged imagery, rebellious abandon, a fickle sense of fashion, and often disposable musical fluff, Antoine "Fats" Domino embodied none of the above. Long revered as one of the founding fathers of rock & roll, Domino scored nearly three dozen Top 40 hits from 1955 to 1963. Yet that success--second only to Elvis's during that era--belied a friendly, often low-key performing style and reverence of musical history that was ostensibly rock's very antithesis. The answers to that conundrum lie in the four 24-bit-remastered discs of this 100-track anthology, a rich chronicle of Domino's New Orleans boogie-woogie-bred R&B. If there are some distinct formulas at work here (the familiar lolling rhythms--and even lyrics--of "Something's Wrong" foreshadow at least two of his most massive hits, "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That a Shame," while the melody of the brief "You Done Me Wrong" can't help but recall Lloyd Price's "Stagger Lee"), Domino has honed them to perfection, selling each song with a warm, understated voice that's a sharp contrast to his distinctively rollicking piano work. Indeed, it's remarkable how consistent Domino was over the near-15-year span of this anthology; if only General Motors had decided to keep building the '55 Bel Air as long. Suffice it to say that Domino's legacy continues to inform new generations of musicians and fans, and that this generous set documents one of the true cornerstones of modern American popular music. --Jerry McCulley

Astonishing yet imperfect........2007-03-28

This astonishing collection sounds great but I do have a gripe or two. For one, where's "Li'l Liza Jane" and for another, I would have loved to have heard a live version of Hank's Jambalaya 'cause Fats rips the song up live.
The omission of "Liza" is especially glaring since it was recorded for Imperial...

Imperfect as it is, this collection will keep you rockin' and rollin' with the Fat Man and insofar box sets go - this is a fine collection.

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS.......2007-02-18

you know, i love simplicity. i love fats domino's music because, to me, he had that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" style. i love that type of stuff when it is good...............and this is beyond that and then some. i STRONGLY recommend this box set. it is actually worth all the hard-earned bucks that you will be spending.

9 #1 Hits From A Rock Legend.......2004-07-20

16 RIAA certified million sellers( at time of their release) and 9 #1 hits on Billboards R&B charts-nothing else needs to be said.How dare a radio dj say this man never had a #1 hit when he hit that spot 9 times on BB's R&B chart. This is the essential Fats Domino collection- for the roots of Rock and Roll are contained within.

Excellent overview of music legend/pioneer's best work.......2002-07-04

Fats Domino is one of the most important figures in the history of pop music, creating a large body of work with Imperial Records that remains some of the most ground-breaking, entertaining music ever recorded. A pioneer and master of New Orleans rhythm & blues and early rock n' roll, this box set is a great introduction to his work.

This box set replaces the 1991 box set, "They Call Me The Fat Man," and in some ways, it's superior, in others, it isn't. The packaging is certainly poorer: a sturdy, neat box with jewel cases is replaced by a digipak wallet, and the nice photo on the front is now a cartoonish, tracing of the same photo with a cartoonish logo (this would've been more appropriate on a Happy Meal). What makes this set better is the sound and track selection. All but 18 tracks from the 1991 box set are duplicated, and the 18 'replacements' are a little better overall, emphasizing rhythm & blues over pop. Furthermore, the sound is much better and completely remastered. The 1991 box set was very poor. Despite using good sources, poor remixing and processing (in some cases, it seems like they were going for a fake stereo effect where they were unable to do any remixing) sabotaged a lot of tracks. That's not the case for this box set.

There is a cheaper alternative in the recent 20-track best of, which is more suitable for casual fans and those on a stricter budget. For committed fans, the 8 CD Bear Family box set is the best (and better sound despite the age of the set), being both complete and expensive. There's also a few Ace CD's from the UK that collect all the singles up to the late 50's (therefore missing the latter day hits), also in better sound but without the sped-up sound that was applied after the mixing stage (the original records had this sped-up sound, but Fats doesn't seem to favor it). Depending on how much music you want and how much money you've got, any of these are great introductions to a living legend.

The Jewel and Paula years.......2002-12-13

This cd covers the work Robert Charles Guidry aka Bobby Charles made in 1964-65 for small Louisiana labels.
After his short period of teenage stardom, recording for Chess (his See You Later Alligator was covered by Bill Haley), and after having made some excellent singles for Imperial (they didn't sell and are hard to find nowadays - please make a cd-release out of them!!), Bobby Charles recorded for Jewel and Paula.
In the early 1970s, Charles was put back in the spotlight again by Rick Danko and The Band, and made his self-titled album in 1970 with the classic Small Town Talk.

Though not his most fruitful years, this cd still contains some excellent, typical Bobby Charles songs: Preacher's Daughter, I Hope, original 1964 Jewel singles. And Everybody Knows, which is an answer to No One Knows (the Dion DiMucchi song), is a nice song.
Interesting, but of less musical value, are the trials he made for the country market: Oh Lonesome Me, One More Glass Of Wine.
`The Walk' is a cover of the Jimmy McCracklin song.
Then there are 3 unissued demos of classic Bobby Charles compositions in this collection: `See You Later Alligator', a poor 60s re-recording, `The Jealous Kind' (made famous by Joe Cocker and Frogman Henry) and `Walking to New Orleans', the Fats classic.

The Next Generation of Zydeco.......2001-05-08

Brad Paul Frank is the up-and-coming youngest performing member of the Frank zydeco dynasty from Soileau, Louisiana. He is the nineteen year old son of Preston Frank, and brother of Keith Frank. He was the drummer in Keith Frank's Soileau Zydeco Band, and is now an excellent accordion player and front-man for his own band. With his first solo recording, he steps out front with accordion, as well as handling keyboards and vocals. This offers eleven tracks in nouveau zydeco style: funky, danceable, rhythmic groove patterns on a diatonic single-row accordion, double-beat bass and drums, an urban feel spicing up a country flavor.
