Bull Moose Jackson – 28 Big Ones –King Records 28CD-4114

Bull Moose Jackson (Benjamin Clarence Jackson), a blues, R&B, and jump blues singer and saxophone player who enjoyed his greatest successes in the 1940s and into the mid-1950s, was a wild ride of an entertainer!  Jackson is also remembered for the rather risqué, yet completely unforgettable, nature of many of his compositions, including “I Want A Bowlegged Woman,” “Nosey Joe,” “Big Fat Mommas Are Back In Style,” and his most famous “Big Ten Inch Record,” a song much later covered by rock giants Aerosmith.

This 2000 release culls all the differing designs of trendy music Jackson recorded, including “I Love You, Yes I Do,” a R&B release that went on to have sales in excess of one million copies, a first in the R&B field.  And across the panorama of this thoroughly pleasing compilation, Jackson’s nonstop succession of sensations unfolds.

Put this one in your CD player, sit back, and let the unending and smile-broadening brands of blues, R&B, and jump blues that Jackson unfurled in a very special time in music get your toes tapping and head bobbing.  This is a party on a CD!
