Label: GROOVE 0021! Two powerful mid-50s rhythm & blues sides from Sam "Highpockets" Henderson, one of the lesser-known but highly regarded voices of the New Orleans R&B scene.

"Too Bad Sweet Mama" is a driving R&B dancer featuring a strong vocal performance, punchy rhythm section and the infectious groove that made Groove Records such a reliable source of quality rhythm & blues releases. On the flip side, "Go, Mother, Go" raises the energy level even further with a lively beat, rocking piano and plenty of dancefloor appeal.

Both sides perfectly capture the transition period when rhythm & blues was evolving into early rock'n'roll, making this an excellent repro for DJs, collectors and fans of classic 1950s black American music.
