When Louis Jordan left Decca Records in 1954, his career was in commercial decline. He had not had any hits for a couple of years, and a new generation of musicians was taking the jump blues style he'd created in the '30s and '40s and stripping it down even further to create rhythm and blues and then rock and roll. Jordan signed with Los Angeles' Aladdin Records, an indie label which was among the most successful R&B imprints of the day, and decided to play along. The 21 tracks Jordan recorded during his short tenure at Aladdin are all included on this disc, and many of them rock as hard as anything that was coming out of Chicago or Memphis at the time. "Whiskey Do Your Stuff"--written by Jordan bassist Shifty Henry, later immortalized in the lyrics of "Jailhouse Rock"--is a four-on-the-floor blues that's as raucous and sly as anything Jordan ever recorded. Other highlights include the sassy "Dad Gum Ya Hide, Boy," the astonishingly pre-PC "Gal, You Need A Whippin'" and the celebratory "Fat Back and Corn Liquor."
