Between 1946 and 1952, singer Wynonie Harris, a prodigious live performer and the self-proclaimed "Mr. Blues," racked up a string of R&B hits on King Records. All of them can be summed up in two words: "let's party!" BLOODSHOT EYES, a typically excellent Rhino best-of, covers most of these hits, including Harris' epochal version of Roy Brown's "Good Rockin' Tonight," a can-you-top-this "Battle of the Blues" (with his idol, Big Joe Turner), the self-explanatory "I Like My Baby's Pudding," and the scandalous "Grandma Plays The Numbers." Harris' brand of jump blues, like that of his other idol, Louis Jordan, was in no sense profound. But it was enormously influential, providing one of the final signposts on the road to rock & roll.
