ROOSEVELT SYKES The Meek Jewel-Paula Legendary piano player Sykes seems to be having a lot of fun on this recording with his band. The "Honeydripper," as he was affectionately called by his fans, had his first hit in 1929, and he
continued to wow audiences live and on record until his death in 1984! Here his assertive vocals and wicked barrel-house piano playing just keeps on going. The dexterity on the ivories and playful vocals that he brings
to the classic tune Honey Suckle Rose are worth the price of the CD alone. But there's plenty more of Sykes' famous roller-coaster playing here. CD $15 To order on-line using Visa, Mastercard or Amex,
