Description
• Follow-up album to our debut ‘Fingersnap!’ CD (BCD17718) in the ‘On the Dancefloor’ series on Bear Family Records®.
• • The second installment delivers 31 more highlights of cool grooves and rhythmic hooks, often simple finger snaps.
• • Two versions of Sixteen Tons (Tennessee Ernie Ford’s original and the Platters’ version), numbers by Elvis, Gene Vincent and Jo-Ann Campbell from the R’n’R era, original R&B by Chuck Willis, Wynonie Harris, Ike Turner, Dinah Washington and Ruth Brown, among others.
• • There are also a number of more obscure recordings by Eddie Banks, Bill Carter, Merle Kilgore and Barbara McNair and finally Help Me by Sonny Boy Williamson II.
• • Extensive and entertainingly written liner notes along with many photos and discographical details in the 36-page booklet as well as carefully processed recordings for good sound quality round off this wonderfully relaxed album.
