The Swinging Sounds of Bill Doggett

Let's switch gears a little... no, a LOT. This is the first of the next stack-o-stuff unearthed in the cleaning of the studio, and we got a winner here!

Bill Doggett is one of the unsung Hammond players out there in the music world. Unsung, because he doesn't feature himself that often! His big hit, "Hony Tonk", didn't feature him! The version here really doesn't either, but there are a couple of his solos on this LP. By the way, the version of "Honky Tonk" is not the original, it is a bit faster, in two parts, and in true stereo. But I digress...

Having worked with Lucky MIllander, the Ink Spots, Louis Jordan, and Ella Fitzgerald, his piano and organ chops, as well as his arranging skills, are on excellent display here. This is a great little LP. 30 minutes of Twistin', house-rockin' fun.

The title of the LP comes from one of the songs on it, where the guitarist, Floyd Smith, did something and said "Oops!"... thus was a title created. This LP is anything BUT Oops, but it says Oops, so...

From 1962, I give you Oops!
