REVIEW

“. . . Red was Willie Perryman, the younger, much younger, brother of Rufus Perryman aka Speckled Red. His career started with a bang when he sold an alleged million copies of 'Red's Boogie'/'Rockin' With Red' in 1951. Later he made it a second time with 'Dr. Feelgood' and he took the name for his own. Chris Strachwitz pried Red loose from his band and recorded him alone at the piano in 1972. . .five tracks were recorded live at the Magnolia Ballroom, Atlanta, on March 5, 1956, with a backing group made up of Blowtop Lynn on sax, John Peek on trumpet, Wes Jackson, guitar, Kid Miller, bass, and Put Jackson, drums. And what a show it must have been! Red was really rockin', the group were thumping along and the audience were loving every minute of it. . .”

(Keith Briggs — Blues & Rhythm)
