Following on the success of Jump Children this second collection covers the recordings made outside of Imperial Records and covers the years 1947-1952. It includes the incredibly rare releases on the PARK label under the alias Dave Barton Band with The Shrewsbury Kid (Tommy Ridgley) covering the big hits of 1952. Dave Bartholomew was one of the chief architects of New Orleans R&B and this is an essential collection for fans of the genre...........
