Album Notes
Personnel includes: Big Joe Turner, Pete Johnson Orchestra.
The late-1940s sessions presented on TELL ME PRETTY BABY feature blues belter Big Joe Turner cutting loose in an unabashedly caddish style, with most of the 24 tracks here focused on love or, more often, lust. Many of these tunes (particularly "So Many Women Blues" and both parts of "Around the Clock Blues") find Turner evoking Tex Avery's desire-crazed cartoon wolf, and this sort of bawdy playfulness only increases the album's charm. What makes the record so enjoyable musically is the simpatico interplay between Turner's powerfully deep voice and the lively piano lines of his longtime partner, Pete Johnson. Although the duo was capable of excellent blues-tinged jazz (see '56's THE BOSS OF THE BLUES), Turner and Johnson seem to be having more fun in this raucous boogie-woogie setting, as best revealed on the rollicking "Wine-O-Baby Blues," the swinging "Boogie Woogie Baby," and both parts of the wild "Rocket Boogie 88."

Editorial Reviews
...as solid and swinging as anything ever recorded....unreservedly recommended if you like music at all, and especially if you like to party while you listen to it...
