INFORMATION One of the greatest hitmakers of the postwar R&B era, Amos Milburn wrote and recorded uproarious odes to sex, booze and all-night partying. It was rock 'n' roll in all but name. Amos rocked the house for the Los Angeles-based Aladdin label right from the beginning. At his debut session in 1946, he waxed a piledriving Down The Road Apiece, and he kept the late '40s R&B hit parade jumping with Chicken Shack Boogie, Roomin' House Boogie and Sax Shack Boogie. They're all here on 'Amos Rocks,' along with his odes to the bottle, like Bad, Bad Whiskey, Let Me Go Home Whiskey, and One Scotch, One Bourbon, One Beer. Plus, there's Amos' torrid '56 remake of Chicken Shack Boogie cut in New Orleans with Lee Allen on sax and Earl Palmer driving the drumbeat. Long before Fats Domino or any of his fellow revolutionaries came anywhere near a studio, Amos Milburn rocked!
