"BROWN GAL"

CD issue of Krazy Kat 808. This volume of Gotham masters features female boogie pianists. The first 6 tracks feature Miltone recordings from 1946 by Roy Milton & His Solid Senders with Camille Howard on piano and a few vocals. The credits are as originally issued, so Camille's name is only on the When I Grow Too Old To Dream/ Sometimes I'm Happy coupling, though Roy sings the 1st and Jimmy Grissom the 2nd one. Also includes Milton's re-recordings of RM Blues & Milton's Boogie , plus Camille's own vocals on Mr. Fine/ Groovy Blues/ If I Had You . Lil Hardin Armstrong, Louis's wife and pianist during the 20s, is heard on fine R & B sides from 1950 with unknown backing featuring a fine bluesy guitar. The title tune was later a hit for The Jive Bombers as Bad Boy , plus this inc. previously unissued takes of Baby Daddy & Rock It . Finally there's 2 fine boogie instrumentals from Donnegan. (Roots & Rhythm)
