Rabshakeh Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago For some reason I'm in the mood. Please recommend me some great compilations (single artist or various) of R&B singles. Jazzy, bluesy, pre-rocky, whatever. Widely defined is fine, although the collections themselves need not be. Ideally streamable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago A big source of pre-rock R&B is the Savoy catalog. Their Roots of Rock & Roll series was damn near epic, beginning as LPs and the moving to CD. No idea how to look for it on Spotify today. This list doesn't seem complete, but maybe it is? https://www.discogs.com/label/680442-Roots-Of-Rock-N-Roll?srsltid=AfmBOopX3H5g8ag3wiuv-LEG80y0n2E0TP-uZ9gMDo4zRrOsCmITVNro&page=1 And here's The Ravens: Jimmy Ricks sounds like Lockjaw on that one!

danasgoodstuff Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Wild sax from the aforementioned Savoy Roots of Rock and Roll series, the sounds are as epic as the cover art. I have several volumes from this series, to which the guys from Canned Heat contributed rare 78s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
