Album Notes Audio Remasterers: Dan Hersch; Bill Inglot; Dave Schultz. With his combination of jump blues, boogie woogie, swing, and proto rock & roll-- to say nothing of his bone-rattling vocals--Big Joe Turner was a vital figure in the development of roots music throughout the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. With 30 tracks spanning the breadth of the artist's career, DEFINITIVE BLUES COLLECTION is a superb introduction to the big man himself. From juke-joint rumblers to black-tie ballads and back, DEFINITIVE lives up to its name by creating a loud, fully fleshed portrait of one of the biggest voices in blues.
