Blowing the Fuse is a killer series of compilation CDs issued by
Germany's premier archivist label, Bear Family. Subtitled "R&B
Classics That Rocked the Jukebox," each volume is compiled by year.
1954 was a boom year for jukeboxes across the United States as
rhythm & blues and rock & roll maintained their collision
course. This volume contains 29 affirmed classics of the early
postwar years. The more well-known tunes of the era are given great
balance by some nearly forgotten gems that are juxtaposed in the
brilliant sequencing -- by producer Dave "Daddy Cool" Booth.
Highlights from this volume are the Spiders' "I Didn't Want to Do
It," the Cadillacs' "Gloria," the Chords' "Sh-Boom," Ray Charles'
"It Should Have Been Me," and Dave Bartholomew's "Jump Children."
The package is beautiful with Colin Escott's liner notes detailing
every cut, accompanied by photographs and a lovely digipack. Sound
quality is as good as it can be for archival material, making this
a fine introduction to postwar R&B for the novice and a killer
chronological listen for the connoisseur. ~ Thom Jurek
