Jackie Brenston was a singer/saxophonist in Ike Turner's band, and his sole hit (Rocket 88) was essentially a head arrangement based heavily on Jimmy Liggins' 'Cadillac Boogie', which came together in Sam Phillips' recording studio, in Memphis. Although the disc was credited to 'Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats', they were actually Ike Turner & His Kings of Rhythm. This compilation comprises everything that Brenston recorded as a lead vocalist between 1951-62, either solo, with Ike Turner, or with Chicago guitarist Earl Hooker..............
