Twenty-five instrumentals that Freeman cut for Imperial in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including of course "Raunchy," and as well as the R&B hit "Lost Dreams" and the minor pop charters "Dumplin's," "Indian Love Call," and "The Twist." Certainly Freeman had a good band (Earl Palmer was on drums), but his sound as a solo artist was not original, and the material was rather standard-issue '50s R&B/rock, sometimes sounding a little like Bill Doggett. If you have a hard time sitting through an entire album's worth of instrumental rock by, say, Duane Eddy, 25 tracks of Freeman at once will drive you nuts. By the way, the version of "Jivin' Around" here is not the original (on Cash Records) that made the Top Ten R&B listings in 1956, but a 1957 Imperial remake. ~ Richie Unterberger
