Deep down and gritty Chicago soul.

Never Can Tell. I loved Chuck Berry with Maybelline, Nadine, Riding along in my automobile, Johnny B Goode, Sweet Sixteen. When this one came along it was a bit different, I thought it was great but many people said it wasn't as good as his previous. I think some folk were more into guitars and I just happened to like the other instruments as well. Got into jazz after that...

Perhaps you guys know more about the history of this period. Were you listening to non-commercial R & B at the time, or was it not available then?

Didn't like it much when it first came out, Gobbiner. Was more into his Roll Over Beethoven, Sweet Little Rock & Roller-type stuff, but like it well enough these days. R&B was guitars and harmonicas for me back then. Didn't get into honking sax-type R&B until I picked up an album called "Kings of R&B" in either Marshalls or the Golden Disc Bar on Broadway around '69. It had Wynonie Harris on one side and Tiny Bradshaw on the other. Things were never quite the same after that...

Nice one, Wyn. The music that changed my musical tastes was on the radio. 'Jazz record requests' was on at 5pm Saturdays way back in the early 60s if I remember rightly. I could understand the jazz blues but the bebop had me baffled. There were enough pleasant solos and cool little riffs and what not to keep me listening and eventually it made some kind of sense. I was travelling round so didn't listen much till 1970 when I heard 'Friday Miles' from Miles Davis at Fillmore. That had me completely baffled! It was like nothing I had ever heard before but incredibly passionate and exciting. That was when things were never quite the same for me after that...

But I won't torture you with that Miles track

Here's something nice and mellow.

I like that. I've never heard of Tiny Bradshaw before, but sure I know the song.

I saw CB at KGH, 28th May 1980 (still got my ticket). He was OK, but didn't seem to be trying anymore, just seemed to be going through the motions.
