97. Here's Little Richard - Little Richard (1957) 88/100. Another 50's classic rock n' roll album. I knew Tuti Fruti, of course, as that is probably the quintessential Little Richard track. A few of the other tracks I had heard over the years but never really attributed to Little Richard.
This was Little Richard in the usual Little Richard flamboyant style and it was good. I definitely enjoy the old R&B rock n' roll as opposed to all of the jazz. I can appreciate the jazz but there would be a much better chance of me putting Little Richard in my car stereo than Duke Ellington.
As for Here's Little Richard, I liked it. There are some classics from this album including Tuti Fruti, Ready Teddy, Slippin' and Slidin, Long Tall Sally, and Rip It Up. I liked the bluesy feel to Can't Believe You. Just good, old fashioned, rock n' roll. Listened: 4/19/2011
Favorite Tracks: Ready Teddy, Long Tall ally, Can't Believe You
