Performer Notes
  • A collection of 50's recordings originally released on the Flair, Modern and RPM labels, including her first hit "Roll With Me Henry", the song she was singing when she was discovered by bandleader Johnny Otis.
  • The singer in her precocious formative years, headed by her 1955 R&B smash "Roll With Me Henry" (aka "The Wallflower"). James' follow-ups included the driving "Good Rockin' Daddy," a bluesy "W-O-M-A-N," and the New Orleans raveup "Tough Lover," which found her backed by the gang at Cosimo's (notably saxman Lee Allen). Even though her tenure at Modern Records only produced a handful of hits, these 22 cuts are delightful artifacts of the belter's earliest days. The CD was reissued, with identical (though slightly resequenced) tracks and liner notes, as Hickory Dickory Dock on Ace 680. ~ Bill Dahl
