Big Joe And The Dynaflows - Layin' In The Alley (1994)

                                                    Big Joe And The Dynaflows
When young bands or touring theatrical companies try to revive the jump-blues sounds of Louis Jordan and Big Joe Turner, they tend to rush the tempos, oversing the choruses and mug shamelessly on the punchlines. Big Joe and the Dynaflows, however, know the counter-intuitive secret: the more you relax, the more exciting the jump-blues are. On its new album, "Layin' in the Alley," the Maryland quartet allows the swing rhythms, blues vocals and sly wit of the music to flow so easily and naturally that resistance is futile.
