\"Cover<\/p>\n

You know it\u2019s going to be a good day when your mailman delivers a big fat CD right to your front door. And it\u2019s extra special when it comes from the reigning Queen of Boogie, Sue Palmer<\/a>. Sue has put together a collection of 20 songs that she says are \u201cparticular favorites\u201d <\/strong>from an immense archive that dates back almost 40 years. With an extended musical cast of peers, old friends and special guests, GEMS Volume One<\/em> is a snapshot into the life and career of this gifted performer.<\/p>\n

From the moment the disc opens, the left hand of Sue gives notice that Boogie Woogie is where her heart beats. The remaining 19 tracks show how prolific and versatile the woman can be. The homage to Duke Ellington with Sue\u2019s Motel Swing Orchestra is stellar as are all<\/em> the straight ahead jazz elements found in this recording, and there are many.<\/p>\n

Janiva Magness<\/a> makes a surprise appearance with 2000 LBS of Blues in a cajun-flavored \u2018Why Did You Go Last Night?\u2019 <\/strong>This Clifton Chenier classic is a pure West Coast stroll with Sue\u2019s accordion skills being offset by Roger Baldwin\u2019s thick, nasty harmonica!<\/p>\n

The years Sue spent working with Candye Kane are lovingly preserved here so expect an abundance of fun and quirkiness. Their version of \u2018These Boots are made for Walkin\u2019 <\/strong>prove accordions, banjo\u2019s and Nancy Sinatra rock<\/em>. \u2018Motel Mambo\u2019<\/strong> evokes the golden days of Johnny Otis\u2019<\/a> Barrelhouse and Central Avenue\u2019s Club Alabam. \u2018Git it\u2019 <\/strong>by Suaro is from Sue\u2019s earliest recordings when she was part of Ms. B. Haven \u201can all women’s rock band from the late 70s.\u201d <\/strong>Each track seems to capture a moment in time and that is reinforced on \u2018Aloha Oe.\u2019 <\/strong>Adrian Demain is a monster on the lap steel and when Sue breaks out a ukulele you can almost feel the North Shore breeze.<\/p>\n

There are so many other vocalists, Deejha Marie, Sharifah Muhammad, Missy Andersen, Preston Coleman, Earl Thomas, Molly Stone, David Mosby\u2026 and guitarists, Steve Wilcox, Jimmy Woodard, Heine Andersen, Laura Chavez\u2026 and an unbelievable horn and rhythm section, Sharon Shufelt, Jonny Viau, April West, Pete Harrison, Thomas Yearsley, Daniel Jackson, Gilbert Castellanos, Rob Thorsen\u2026 and a cast of thousands.<\/p>\n
