Classified [Remixed and Expanded Edition] (1982)

While there has suddenly been a flood of CDs featuring masterful New Orleans keyboard wizard and vocalist James Booker, his best release arguably remains Classified. The 12-track set was a landmark album, as Booker displayed every facet of his distinctive style. He did up-tempo blues, quasi-classical, rock and R&B, making them all sound easy while performing frequently awesome keyboard feats. His "Professor Longhair Medley: Bald Head/Tipitina" pays homage to a legend while also demonstrating how much farther Booker's pianistic skills had developed. While his vocals sometimes aren't the equal of his brilliant playing, they're never less than effective and are sometimes almost frightening in their intensity. [The sessions for Classified were held in 1982, and Booker was not in very good physical or mental shape for them, but producer Scott Billington, returning to the original tapes some thirty years later, found more than he remembered there, and Rounder Records issued an expanded edition of Classified in 2013 that added several previously unreleased tracks.] ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi Read Less
