Roosevelt Sykes The Honey Dripper's Ball
Released: 2007 Label: Varese Sarabande Format: Mp3@320  Honeydripper's Ball album by Roosevelt Sykes was released Apr 03, 2007 on the VarŠse Sarabande (USA) label. Blues legend Roosevelt Sykes was renowned for his prowess on the 88's, and his rollicking, celebratory style. Honeydripper's Ball music CDs Combining elements of barrelhouse, boogie-woogie, Chicago blues, and R&B, Sykes lit upon an approach to the blues that earned him considerable and sustained popularity throughout the 1930s, '40s, '50s, '60s, and beyond. The Honeydrippers Ball is a 14-track compilation that includes seminal Sykes tunes such as "Driving Wheel" and "Night Time Is the Right Time." This solid set is an excellent place for the uninitiated to start exploring the influential blues pianist. Late in life, pianist and blues shouter Roosevelt Sykes rode the crest of a remarkable comeback that introduced him to large numbers of club-crawling, festival-attending, and record-buying blues lovers, many of them young enough to be his grandchildren. The Honeydripper's Ball is a veritable time capsule from 1973 in the form of a reissue of the ironically titled The Meek Roosevelt Sykes [Jewel LP 5011] appended with a little over six minutes' worth from his set at the outdoor 1973 Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival. The studio session is a delight, with an uncredited drummer contributing just the right amount of punchy support to an itinerary that includes several excellent instrumentals. "Driving Wheel" and "Night Time Is the Right Time" (which he first recorded in 1937) are beautiful examples of how Sykes interacted with crowds of enthusiastic admirers as he puffed his cigar, massaged the ivories, and sang the blues with all his heart.
