AIM 1305 CD - Ivory Joe Hunter - Jumping At The Dew Drops

Ivory Joe Hunter has been labelled a blues singer, a jazz pianist, a rock and roll artist and even a country stylist. None of these descriptions do justice to the breadth of his talent. He was all of them and more. Born in Texas in pitiful surroundings, one would have thought that he'd become a bluesman. It was out on the West Coast that Ivory Joe gained national attention. He recorded for King Records and 4 Star before signing a contract with MGM. On MGM he had his first national hit with "I Need You So" and the million seller, "I Lost My Mind". In 1954 he signed with the fledgling Atlantic label and scored two gold records with "Since I Left You Baby" and "Empty Arms".
