AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS GREAT ROCKIN BOOGIE BLUES 78 FROM BIG JOE TURNER AND PETE JOHNSON ROLL 'EM PETE b/w GOIN' AWAY BLUES Joe Turner, more commonly known as Big Joe Turner, was a Kansas City native born in 1911. Even as a boy, Turner was enthralled with music and had been known to use his mother's eyebrow pencil to draw on a mustache in order to obtain entrance into clubs and listen to the music when he was under-aged. However, this ploy was not always successful and he sometimes had to resort to perching atop garbage cans in the alleys behind the Vine Street clubs peering into windows to get a peek at the bands. Finally, Big Joe Turner, who acquired the latter nickname because of his impressive size, secured a job in a club bartending, acting as a bouncer and singing in the 1930's. Here, Turner, who was known for the powerful voice that matched his large physique, met pianist Pete Johnson and the two men went to New York in 1936. In 1938, the pair made an appearance at the "Spirituals to Swing" concert at Carnegie Hall, which included Big Bill Broonzy, Count Basie and the Golden Gate Quartet. The show was quite a success with Turner and Johnson playing songs like "Low Down Dog" and "It's Alright Baby." While in New York, Turner and Johnson signed with the Vocalion record company, recording "Roll 'Em Pete" which was an up tempo number that Turner would rerecord over his career many times. In 1939, the pair also recorded the blues number "Cherry Red" for Vocalion accompanied by the trumpeter Hot Lips Page and a full combo band.
