I need some Earl King. I would guess that vinyl is tough to find--is there a CD or collection you'd recommend?

...and maybe one day I'll find some Alvin Robinson 45s.....

I've got two Alvin Robinsons - Something You Got/Searchin' on Tiger and Let the Good Times Roll/Bottom of My Soul on Blue Cat. "Something You Got" in particular is excellent.

I don't have any Earl King CDs - just a handful of singles and a few scattered tracks on CD anthologies, so I'm not the best one to recommend a CD.

If you ever go to New Orleans, you should go to Jim Russell's Records on Magazine Street and browse through the hundreds of NOLA singles.

Ok, I'll check that out, thanks.

Question: Is this Alan Shorter album better than any one album his brother Wayne made?

no

Interesting record, but no from me too.

Alan was really interesting but he wasn't trying to do what Wayne was. I love this album, but it's not in the same category as any of the Wayne BNs (or probably any of his recent work, either).

As for Leslie Waldron, she (or he) is only on one Noah Howard LP as far as I know. Nobody I've talked to on the "scene" then remembered this person other than, maybe, "the name sounds familiar." Waldron is mentioned (by name) as being a 212 Artists Colony regular in the book accompanying the Aboriginal Music Society set on Eremite.

I mostly asked the question to raise folks' consciousness (very 60s, lol) on this album. Wayne's JUJU, NIGHT DREAMER and SPEAK NO EVIL are a cut above, I suppose, but I think Alan's album matches up to most of Wayne's other output after that, and most definitely the more recent stuff. Alan's work is tough, muscular, forward-looking, and I really appreciate that. I do appreciate you all's feedback.
