For almost five years from 1958, the Ric and Ron labels typified the New Orleans R&B sound of the era. The labels didn't have too many national hits, but Ric and Ron were crucial to the ongoing development of the careers of New Orleans luminaries Eddie Bo, Professor Longhair and Tommy Ridgley - as well as introducing the music world to notables such as Irma Thomas and Johnny Adams............ More than 50 years after their initial release Ace is proud to bring you the first of two volumes that will chronicle Ric and Ron's output from start to finish. You Talk Too Much, named in honour of Joe Jones' US Hot 100 Top 10 hit which began life on Ric, concentrates on the records made between 1958-1960. A second volume will be issued later in 2014 featuring material from 1960-1962 and will include several tracks never issued on CD before..............
