Nat King Cole - Rockin' With The Blues! (2020) [Hi-Res]

Rockin, Boppin and Blues features Nat King Cole's Capitol recordings that were not exclusively focused on the popular romantic music, which often overshadowed the majority of these jazz, blues, and up-tempo tunes. These 18 tracks include "Route 66," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Joe Turner Blues" (live), "Send For Me," and "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You." Cole was an early inspiration for Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, and Charles Brown amongst numerous others in the R&B and early rock era. While that influence is unmistakable when listening to this collection, Cole recorded his true feelings about the genre on a seven-minute live version of "Mr. Cole Won't Rock and Roll" which closes out this set. For a good companion compilation featuring his romantic sides, pick up Songs From the Heart also a part of the Capitol Songbook Series.
