The Soundies #10

Here's a mid-'50s performance by blues singer and boogie woogie pianist Amos Milburn, "Bad, Bad Whiskey," recorded at the same time as last week's video by Joe Turner. The intro is by Willie Bryant. Several of Milburn's hits were about the perils of alcohol consumption. Of his soundies, this has the best video and sound quality.


However, you might also want to take a peek at "Down the Road Apiece," which has a more interesting piano solo.
