Various: On The Dancefloor With More Fingersnaps - 31 More Pops To Make The Party Shake! (CD)

1-CD (Digipak) with 36-page booklet, 31 tracks. Total playing time approx. 79 min.

Follow-up album to our debut 'Fingersnap!' CD (BCD17718) in the 'On the Dancefloor' series on Bear Family Records®.
The second installment delivers 31 more highlights of cool grooves and rhythmic hooks, often simple finger snaps.
Two versions of Sixteen Tons (Tennessee Ernie Ford's original and the Platters' version), numbers by Elvis, Gene Vincent and Jo-Ann Campbell from the R'n'R era, original R&B by Chuck Willis, Wynonie Harris, Ike Turner, Dinah Washington and Ruth Brown, among others.
There are also a number of more obscure recordings by Eddie Banks, Bill Carter, Merle Kilgore and Barbara McNair and finally Help Me by Sonny Boy Williamson II.
Extensive and entertainingly written liner notes along with many photos and discographical details in the 36-page booklet as well as carefully processed recordings for good sound quality round off this wonderfully relaxed album.

Sharpen up your fingers and let’s take a headlong dive into this irresistible follow-up to Bear Family’s ‘On The Dancefloor‘ compilation, containing another 31 highly infectious items where the groove is cool and the percussion is often supplied by the snapping of fingers.

Tennessee Ernie Ford’s Sixteen Tons, likely the best-known entry of all in this sub-genre, is aboard this time (The Platters‘ version is here too), along with cool gems by Elvis, Gene Vincent, Fabian, Bobby Darin, and Jo Ann Campbell.

The R&B contingent is represented by hip numbers from Chuck Willis, Wynonie Harris, Ike Turner, Donnie Elbert, Dinah Washington, and two seductive themes by Ruth Brown. And there are plenty of obscurities to savor, including Eddie Banks‘ Sugar Diabetes, Bill Carter’s Jailer Man, Merle Kilgore’s Start All Over Again, and the gorgeous Barbara McNair’s He’s A King.

Harmonica ace Sonny Boy Williamson (the second one) turns up at the end with his immortal Help Me, which became an instant blues standard. Prepare to snap along throughout this collection - hand cramps aren’t an option!

Presse - Various: On The Dancefloor With More Fingersnaps - blues news 121

Press -The icing on the cake includes obscure recordings by artists such as Merle Kilgore, Eddie Banks and Barbara McNair, while the socially critical country/folk song “Sixteen Tons” is represented twice: once in the 1955 hit version by Tennessee Ernie Ford and once by The Platters. Rock'n'roll, doo wop and ballads complete the excursion into the 1950s and early 1960s. The 38-page booklet, which contains a lot of discographic details, is also visually tastefully presented. The sound is, as usual with Bear Family, great.

Press - Various: On The Dancefloor With More Fingersnaps - Soul Bag Avril

Press - track by Ike Turner (She Made My Blood Run Cold, with a doo-woop choir and vocals by pianist Clayton Love), Nashville rockabilly by Dave Rich (Chicken House) and the stratospheric falsetto of Donnie Elbert with Wild Child on Deluxe. So roll out the carpet and once dinner is over, offer your guests a little session of dancing, bop, twist or blues, not forgetting to snap your fingers!

Presse - On The Dancefloor With More Fingersnaps - 31 More Pops To Make The Party Shake - twojblues.com

Presse - The album opens with the oldest recording in the set, Bring It Back, by post-war R&B star Wynonie Harris, recorded in 1952. Listening to the following songs, you can't help but think of the famous song Fever, presented here by Little Caesar and The Romans from 1961. In such a set, of course, Elvis Presley could not be missing in the song Relax from the movie It Happened At The World's Fair. The closing track on the album, Help Me Sonny Boy Williamson II, will be music to the ears of every blues fan. It is attributed to Williamson, Willie Dixon and Ralph Bass, but according to some sources it is based on the composition Green Onions by Booker T. and the MG's.
