Blacked Vol.1 – White kids going wild over the rhythm & blues of Arthur ‘Big Boy’ Crudup. Was Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup the father of rock'n'roll? Well, in a way he was. If Elvis chose one of his songs to open his first single on Sun, then old Arthur deserves some credit.
In the years following the big bang of rock'n'roll, more than a few bands and singers returned to Arthur Crudup's repertoire, and this EP is a compilation of four good examples of how Big Boy's rhythm & blues influenced white kids on both sides of the Atlantic and the Pacific. The Star-Fires from Boston with She's Long And Tall and Worried 'BOUT You Baby by Waylon Humphries & The Raiders from Shreveport, Louisiana, make up side A, while England's Dave Berry and his version of My Baby Left Me, and Australia's Paul Wayne with the classic That's Alright Mama do the same on side B.
Pale boys who went crazy for the sounds of rhythm & blues, JUST BLACKED 'N CRUDUPTED!
