Sugar Boy with the Canecutters
Overboard / I Don't Know What I'll Do
Checker: 783 (45s)
We start with the original flipside "Over Board" an insane Blues R&B dancer featuring crazed saxophone support, as a breathlress Sugar Boy Crawford shouts out his message. Sugar Boy's 1st 45 for Leonard Chess, when he signed for the soon to become Chicago giant of the blues label Chess. Chess on his next release "dropped" wisely droped the derogatory group name "The Canecutters" but his backing boys were just as potent as his other highly regarded 45s that followed. As ever this double helping of 1953 New Orleans inspired R&B features two songs written by the talented "Sugar Boy" himself.
Impressive early 50's R&B/Blues which ever side you drop the arm on, backed up with a vivid mix of saxophone and stabbing piano notes. By comparison with his other work, "I Bowed On My Knees" is a bluesy slow-mournful-lament with Mr. Crawford revealing in despair as the old-tale of his lady leaving him, unfolds.
The original a-side "I Don't Know What I'll Do" showcases Sugar Boy takes a slower stance, using the same recipe of a wailing saxophone and slow-drag piano notes. Mournful Blues depicting rejection, proper street Blues saturated in New Orleans characteristics, by the ending Sugar Boy signs off with some convincing sobbing. That makes you flip it back over to the exuberant stomping "Overboard"

Laurel Aitken
Shake / Propoganda
Ska Beat : JB. 236 (45s)
"Shake" not the Sam Cooke anthem but an effervescent Rocky Steady mover crammed full of innovative instrument manipulation.

Carrying Laurels "New Dance" from Kingston Town.
