| Description |
There’s more than enough evidence to recommend Ike Turner the musician. It was his misfortune never to achieve the success he felt merited but in the process he produced a wealth of stirring blues and R&B records that continue to stir the blood.
The young Ike Turner had only one speed and that was pedal to the metal – a cliché – but it epitomizes the no-holds-barred arrangements he threw together in the studio, aided by a group of musicians who took their title, the Kings of Rhythm, seriously.
Ike also failed to notice when times changed and the macho role he’d adopted before the world noticed him and his dynamic singer, Tina, was no longer viable in a post-feminist society. As a consequence, Ike undoubted ability as a bandleader and talent-spotter was trampled in the stampede for sensation. So let’s celebrate his early achievements here. |
