Artist: Ike Turner Title: A Proper Introduction To Ike Turner with Jackie Brenston: Rocket 88 Info: Determining the first actual rock & roll record is a truly impossible task. But you can't go too far wrong citing Jackie Brenston's 1951 Chess waxing of "Rocket 88 " a seminal piece of rock's fascinating history with all the prerequisite elements firmly in place practically indecipherable lyrics about cars booze and women; Raymond Hill's booting tenor sax and a churning beat-heavy rhythmic bottom. The singer saxist was backed by Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm an aggregation that Brenston had joined the previous year. Turner played piano on the tune and this was the first taste of fame for the man later to marry Tina. This Proper Introduction contains all the best firey R&B material recorded by this band.
