'Fats' Waller and his Rhythm - Complete Recordings vol.8,
RCA Victor 1974



















Eversince the first time I laid my ears on it, I was
a fan of the music of Thomas 'Fats' Waller. He sounds
just like he looks on most pictures. Behind the piano, big smile,
eyes balled at the ceiling. Listening to Fats always makes me
instantly happy. Check these 16 songs, volume 8 of his 'Complete
Recordings'. Volume 113 of RCA's series Black & White. This
volume covers songs from 1935 and some sound better than
others. I think this compilation is quite outstanding, get it
and play it with your sunday breakfast.

tracks;

1 There's going to be the devil to pay
2 There'll be some changes made
3 Sweet Sue
4 Truckin'
5 Sugar blues
6 Georgia rockin' chair
7 Brother seek and ye shall find
8 The girl I left behind me
9 You're so darn charming 1
10 You're so darn charming 2
11 Woe! is me
12 Loafin' time
13 ( Do you intend to put an end to )
- a sweet beginning like this
14 Got a bran' new suit
15 Thief in the night
16 When somebody thinks you're wonderful

Thanks Moos, I can't get enough Fats Waller and there's several tracks here I didn't have already. Thanks for the last few African albums too - all great stuff as usual!

I really like Fats Waller records and he's one of the few jazz artists my kids don't complain about when I throw his records on.

Thanks for this one.
