Jimmy Rushing With Oliver Nelson And His Orchestra

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

Every Day I Have The Blues
Used - Vinyl - BLS-6005
Circa 1973-74 US reissue on blue & green gradient ABC Bluesway label. Bottom seam has moderate wear; left corner has small tear/worn to cardboard bump/compression to right. Recommended listening with the likes of Shirley Scott and Grady Tate in-tow. "It may have been relatively late in Jimmy Rushing's career when he recorded two albums for ABC/BluesWay (Every Day I Have the Blues and Livin' the Blues, both of which are reissued in full on this single CD), but he was still in prime singing voice. Joined by such friends as trombonist Dickie Wells, trumpeter Clark Terry, and tenor saxophonist Buddy Tate, Rushing shows that he was still relevant on such blues-based songs as "Berkeley Campus Blues," "Blues in the Dark," "I Left My Baby," "Sent for You Yesterday," and "We Remember Prez." Even with Oliver Nelson's arrangements on the first half and an electric rhythm section on the second, both Rushing and the musicians play off each other well, resulting in a swinging set."
