You figure the stuff Ike Turner did for Sun records must be great, right? Well it isn’t. The Kings of Rhythm featuring Ike Turner (Varese Saraband) gives you a complete overview of those sessions and most are luke-warm.
It is obvious that Ike was feeling his way, trying to find a formula for hit making. There are good moments, moments of raw, powerful r and b, but many of the cuts fall flat. C’est la Vie.
