		Aladdin Records puts out two Milburn records in quick order during the summer - #3058 : "I Love Her" and "Birmingham Bounce" and #3059 a couple of cover songs : "Two Years Of Torture" (covering Percy Mayfield) and "Hard Luck Blues" (covering Roy Brown).
		In September Milburn records "Sax Shack Boogie" on #3064 which hits like a bomb and boasts a first run order of over fifty thousand which is a huge number for a R and B tune on an indie label in 1950.
		In December Aladdin records announces that Milburn's record of "Bad Bad Whiskey" (written by Maxwell Davis) had surpassed the one hundred thousand sales mark in less than four weeks since its release and all indications are that the record will be the biggest seller in the history of the label replacing Milburn's "Chicken Shack Boogie".

	Amos Milburn
		In between, he pounded out some of the most hellacious boogies of the postwar era, usually recording in Los Angeles for Aladdin Records and specializing in good-natured upbeat romps about booze and its effects (both positive and negative) that proved massive hits during the immediate pre-rock era.
		A velvet-smooth "Bewildered" displayed the cool after-hours side of Milburn's persona as it streaked up the charts later that year, but it was rollicking horn-driven material such as "Roomin' House Boogie" and "Sax Shack Boogie" that Milburn was renowned for.
		Aladdin stuck with Milburn long after the hits ceased, dispatching him to New Orleans in 1956 to record with the vaunted studio crew at Cosimo's.

	Marv Goldberg's R&B Notebooks - The Aladdins
		Eddie and Leo Mesner, owners of Aladdin Records, had had lots of great groups on their label: the Robins, the 5 Keys, the Feathers, and the Sha-Weez, to name a few.
		Their first record was released in April 1955: the second version of "Remember," backed with "Cry Cry Baby." It was reviewed on April 30, with both sides getting a "good" rating.
		Things seemed to be somewhat chaotic at Aladdin at this time, and Teddy never received a copy of this record (he didn’t even think it existed); it’s their rarest side.

	Marv Goldberg's R&B Notebooks - The 5 Keys
		The twelfth Aladdin session was held at the RCA studios on March 11, 1953, with four tunes being waxed: "Mama (Your Daughter Told A Lie On Me)" (Dickie), "There Ought To Be A Law" (Ulysses and Maryland), "When You're Gone" (Dickie), and "White Cliffs Of Dover" (Dickie and Maryland).
		Recorded were: "I Dreamt I Dwelt In Heaven" (Rudy), "She's The Most" (a very interesting arrangement, featuring a duet lead with Maryland and Rudy, and then another one with Ripley and Bernie), "That's Right" (Maryland), and the rocking "Boom-Boom" (Maryland).
		An analysis of their recordings on Aladdin, Groove, Capitol and King, shows that Maryland Pierce sang lead on 40% of the tunes, Rudy West on 34%, Dickie Smith on 13%, Ulysses Hicks on 3%, and Thomas Threatt on 5%.

	Jimmy Wilson
		Some of these tracks created just enough of a stir for Aladdin Records to take an interest and purchase some of Wilson's masters from Geddins, and later during 1952 Wilson began recording for Aladdin and its small subsidiary 7-11.
		In 1953 Jimmy Wilson again signed with Geddins to record for his new Big Town label, and the first release, Tin Pan Alley, although not a Wilson original, was a tremendous success and has since become synonymous with his name.
		Later recordings did not match up to the doomy Bay Area sound of his Geddins’ tracks, despite a couple of attempts at the Tin Pan Alley sound and a good local seller Please Accept My Love on Goldband which was covered successfully by B.B. King.

	Amos Milburn - Biography and Recommendations
		But Milburn was capable of crooning a fine mellow blues ballad as well, recording in a Charles Brown-influenced style (the two would later become close friends, playing together frequently) - 'Bewildered' was a great example of the cool after-hours side of Milburn.
		Indeed, given the high number of drinking references in Milburn's repertoire, it was ironic that after leaving Aladdin alcoholism later brought the pianist down hard and led to his later generally poor health.
		He was a fine singer and even better pianist - he could bang out a mean boogie or tinkle the ivories in a light and jazzy style as the situation demanded.
