USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTION NOW UP FOR SALE.

YOU COULD NOT DESCRIBE BULLMOOSE JACKSON, ONE OF THE FIRST R&B VOCALISTS TO ENJOY A MILLION-SELLING SINGLE, AS A HANDSOME OR GLAMOROUS MAN. CONTEMPORARIES LIKE ROY BROWN WERE WORRIED BY THE COMPETITION UNTIL THEY SAW WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE. IN AN ERA OF VELVET-VOICED CROONERS WHO EXPLOITED THEIR LOOKS TO STIMULATE FEMALE PASSIONS, JACKSON WAS A RARITY WHOSE POPULARITY RESTED ENTIRELY ON HIS MUSIC AND SHOWMANSHIP. HIS BAND, THE SEVEN-PIECE BUFFALO BEARCATS, WITH THEIR BRIGHT UNIFORMS AND FUR HUNTER'S CAPS, DECRIED BOP AS TOO IRREGULAR FOR DANCING AND TOO ADVANCED FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION. THEIR OWN MUSIC INVITES DESCRIPTIONS WHICH COULD APPLY TO ANY NUMBER OF POST-WAR R&B RECORDS BUT THE SHEER VARIETY OF STYLES WAS UNCOMMON. JACKSON'S R&B EMBRACED BLUES, BOOGIES, JAZZ, NOVELTY SONGS, HILLBILLY TUNES, POP AND EVEN OUT 'N' OUT ROCK'N'ROLL. THE HIGH-ENERGY "WATCH MY SIGNALS", RECORDED FOR ENCINO IN 1956, IS COMPARABLE TO T. TYLER'S "SADIE GREEN" OR AL DOWNING'S "DOWN ON THE FARM".

THIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN 1980 AND FEATURES TRACKS COVERING THE YEARS 1945 THROUGH TO 1956. THE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY VERY, VERY MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR AND THE RECORD IS GRADED AS NEAR MINT.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - I Know Who Threw The Whiskey (In The Well) / Bull Moose Jackson Blues / Sneaky Pete / Cleveland Ohio Blues / Fare Thee Well, Deacon Jones / Keep Your Big Mouth Shut / Miss Lucy / Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide. Side 2 - Memphis Gal / Why Don't You Haul Off And Love Me / Big Fat Mamas Are Back In Style Again / Cherokee Boogie (Eh-Oh-Aleena) / Nosey Joe / Bootsie / I Wanna Hug Ya, Kiss Ya, Squeeze Ya / Watch My Signals.
