About this product
Big Mama Thornton - The Best Of Big Mama Thornton 1951-58 - Powerhouse performer, Willie Mae InchBig MamaInch Thornton, was a singing sensation who did not get the recognition her talents so richly deserved. A big woman with a big personality, Big Mama Thornton possessed one of the most soulful voices in R&B history. She had a huge-selling R&B No.1 with the original recording of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's Hound Dog, but would see her success eclipsed by Elvis Presley who would go on to sell 10 million copies globally with his cover on his way to being crowned The King of Rock 'n' Roll. This 16-track, 140g black vinyl, goes some way in showcasing her colourful personality as well as highlighting her as a performer who brought much more to popular music than one landmark hit. Also includes numbers such as They Call Me Big Mama, I Smell A Rat, Just Like A Dog (Barking Up The Wrong Tree), Don't Talk Back and Big Mama's Coming Home. Big Mama Thornton not only gifted the world one of the most bombastic interpretations of the blues, but she also helped redefine the place of black women in the music business. - This 16-track, 140g black vinyl, goes some way in showcasing her colourful personality as well as highlighting her as a performer

By all accounts Big Mama Thornton was a force of nature. Her talent and striking personality took her all around the United States in her twenties and thirties and later to many places around the world. John Norris in Coda magazine wrote of her InchHer voice is gutsy, earthy and coarse, but at the same time there is a beauty, sensitivity and control to everything she does.Inch
![Silversun Pickups - Neck of the Woods - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/091671e2-0358-46a3-ab8f-dbf31fb3d9bf.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
The third album from Los Angeles fuzz-rockers Silver sun Pickups, NECK OF THE WOODS started with a chance meeting when the band stumbled across Grammy-winning producer Jackknife Lee (R.E.M., U2, Weezer) while recording guest vocals for a Snow Patrol track. But Pickups front man Brian Aubert is quick to point out that pretty much everything about the album - from producer to studio location right down to it's found-photo album art - has been serendipitous.
I've always wanted to make an album like Blush. In ways I've made records like this before but I've never produced em at this level of quality when it boils down to storytelling and sonic shaping. Last summer was heavy, awful. I lost the love of my life. It got so bad that I had to leave California. I went back to Texas to link w my day ones. Family, ya know? Ya boy had to slow things down and look in the mirror, and be a grown up. Cut the B*tch stuff out. I was like, oh, ok. I AM 100% AT MY BEST when I'm directing other artists; 2001 & The Chronic. Blush. When I went to jail over some bullshit out in Conroe, I realized how much I care about my work and my audience. And also how I've taken so many things for granted for so long. Not only did I feel guilty, I felt small. I believe God finds their way into my thoughts more often than less &&& I know that I am beyond lucky to be able to have a shot at this thing. This career, this industry, this art-form. My life. Thanks. I care a lot. I'm strong. I got us. BLUSH is the way. June 2025. P.S., I love Peter but leaving Sony has helped me find my way back to being me. Because I am 17 again even though I'm 28. 29 next month btw. Anyway, see y'all in a week or so. This album is my favorite one so far.. Cliff Simpson, Sent from Hawaii. 2xLP Sky Blue Vinyl in Gatefold Jacket with Printed Inner Sleeves and 36Inch x 24Inch Folded Insert.
