BIG JOE TURNER STARTED HIS CAREER AS A “BLUES SHOUTER” SO NAMED BECAUSE MANY OF THE VENUES THE ARTISTS OF THIS PERIOD PERFORMED IN HAD NO SOUND SYSTEMS AND THE ARTISTS HAD TO SHOUT TO BE HEARD ABOVE THE NOISE OF THE BAND AND THE CROWD. IN THE 1950s JOE TURNED HIS HAND TO UPTEMPO RHYTHM & BLUES AND RECORDED SOME OF THE FINEST UPTEMPO R&B TO COME OUT OF THE ERA INCLUDING THE LEGENDARY ROCK’N’ROLL ANTHEM, “SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL”. GREAT CLASSIC R&B ******
