Joe Liggins & His Honeydrippers

Description:

The Riggins brothers are described as the mellow and stylish older brother and the wild and spontaneous younger brother. This disc is a collection of the elder brother Joe Riggins' famous specialty recordings from 1949 to 1951, arranged in the order of the numbers on the original SP recordings. The Honeydripper," the gem that made his name, clearly captures Joe's singing voice and crisp boogie-woogie to swing piano playing. This is a masterpiece of melody, performance, and arrangement.
