(2-CD set) Along with Little Richard, Larry Williams is rightly considered as one of the greatest black rockers - and both artists recorded for Art Rupe's Specialty label. This set features all the Specialty singles (CD 1), and the superb outtakes with hilarious studio chat (CD 2). All the big hits are here in all their remastered glory: "Short Fat Fannie," "Bony Moronie," "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" and Slow Down." With Larry at the pounding piano, the instrumental work is outstanding. Accompanists include such stalwarts as Plas Johnson (sax), Rene Hall (guitar), Earl Palmer and Charles "Hungry" Williams (drums). The attractive booklet features expert notes from Stuart Colman.
