Album Notes
Recorded between 1933 and 1937.
Knowledgeable fans of urban piano blues will undoubtedly raise an eyebrow at those recording dates, as Leroy Carr died in 1935. Although he gets top billing, Carr shares this 23-track disc with a relatively unknown blues pianist with the pre-PC sobriquet Black Boy Shine, a Houston-based bluesman.
Dodgy name aside, Shine is a more-than-adequate boogie-woogie player, a bit rougher than the more sophisticated Carr, but an exciting soloist with a nice rough tone. Listening to the two players in tandem like this, it's easy to see just how influential Carr's urban, sophisticated style of piano playing was throughout the '30s. Shine's "Dallas Woman Blues" and "Sugarland Woman Blues" swing with the easy grace of T-Bone Walker, but there's a sophistication here that would have been missing had the tracks been recorded a decade earlier.
