The wurst of Lou Donaldson

“Hot Dog”   Lou Donaldson   Blue Note Records   (1969)   One of the funkiest Blue Note albums ever with Lou on electrified alto sax, Melvin Sparks on guitar, Charles Earland on organ,   Ed Williams on trumpet and the super-tight drumming of a young Idris Muhammad (still billed under his birth name of Leo Morris) “who hits the kit with a snapping, post-Popcorn style!   A hard and heavy groove from the very first note with killer remakes of “It’s Your Thing” and “Who’s Making Love” – plus Donaldson originals “Hot Dog” and “Turtle Walk”.”

Brahms’ grapest hits

Brahms Complete Hungarian Dances   Robert Gerle, Violin   Westminster Gold Series Records   Westminster was the king of the wacky classical package – at times pairing “serious” music with food for no apparent reason.   (See our “classical” section for others from the label.)

Whip it!

“Whipped Cream”   Herb Alpert’s Tijuana Brass   Columbia/EMI   France (Courtesy of Lp cover lover Uncle Gil) How refreshing to see this record with an alternate cover!   The original one being one of the most familiar of the sixties.   Upon closer inspection, this is kinda gross – looks more like sour cream (with chives?).
