Ruth Brown: Rock & Roll (LP, 180g Vinyl, Ltd.)

(Mobile Fidelity) 14 tracks, 180g vinyl, limited and numbered edition of 2000 copies

"Rock & roll, indeed. Ruth Brown's debut full-length symbolizes what was exciting, fresh, invigorating and raw about this burgeoning style in its golden days. Originally released in 1957 and reissued here in audiophile quality for the first time to mark the 75th anniversary of Atlantic Records, the set remains a testament to one of the most groundbreaking and talented singers ever to command a stage.

In an era dominated by big-throated singers, few were grander than Brown. The singer, whose success with Atlantic Records in the 1950s selling millions of records led many to refer to the then indie label as "The House That Ruth Built," landed two dozen R&B hits for the fledgling label within a decade. Rightly dubbed "Miss Rhythm," she set a precedent that would eventually lead to Grammy and Tony awards. Her best early works, 14 of which are collected on "Rock & Roll", have lost none of their fire and flair.

"Rock & Roll" plays with an immediacy, vibrancy and fullness that emphasizes the range, power and emotionality of Brown's voice.

Mastered on the label's renowned mastering system in California, pressed at RTI, and strictly limited to 2,000 numbered copies, Mobile Fidelity's 180g mono LP

This Little Girl's Gone Rockin'

Ruth Brown acutely felt the changing times at Atlantic Records. She had been there since the label’s inauspicious launch, but saw that her champion, Herb Abramson, was sidelined and would soon be bought out. She didn’t get along as well with his replacement, Jerry Wexler, and felt that the label’s co-founder, Ahmet Ertegun, was becoming remote. One of the artists assigned to Herb Abramson was Bobby Darin, and it took some time for Abramson or anyone at Atlantic to know what to do with him. For Ruth, it was unusual enough just seeing a white performer on the label.

"I often came across him in the studio, trying out little things,” she wrote in her autobiography. “’I hear you’re a songwriter,’ I jived him one day. ‘Why don’t you write me a song?’ He did. It was ‘This Little Girl’s Gone Rockin’,’ and it was produced by two other ex-Brillers, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.” Most sources credit Wexler and Ertegun as A&R men on the session, but Ruth clearly remembers it differently.

A straightforward boogie woogie underpinned by Stoller on piano, it was highlighted by Everett Barksdale on guitar and the always distinctive King Curtis on tenor sax. Ruth damns it with faint praise in her autobiography, but it became her last major pop hit and one of her last R&B hits. Darin’s co-writer, incidentally, was Emanuel Kurtz aka Mann Curtis, who had begun cranking out songs in the early 1940s, and wrote the English words to Let It Be Me. Ruth’s long chart career was winding down, although she performs to this day. Darin’s other contribution to Ruth’s tenure at Atlantic was to advise her to audit the label for unpaid royalties.
