Ivory Joe Hunter was a Texas pianist and singer who pioneered boogie-woogie and piano blues in the 1940s and beyond. This 2001 compilation gathers his recordings from the crucial 1945-1950 period, when he was developing his distinctive style. His rolling piano work and warm, inviting vocals created infectious grooves—the kind of music that made people want to dance and feel good. Tracks like "Boogin' In the Basement" capture that joy perfectly. Hunter's influence on rock and roll pioneers is substantial, though he remains less celebrated than deserved. This collection is essential for understanding pre-rock blues and boogie traditions, and simply excellent dance-floor ready music.
