	Ike Turner: Blues Kingpins

		Ike Turner’s Blues Kingpin collection is a great introduction to Turner’s music and to his contribution to the blues and all that came after.

		Ike Turner is certainly one of the most dehumanized figures in rock history.
		As a pianist in the early '50s, Turner helped lay the groundwork for rock and roll; he was also a distinctive guitarist with a biting, nasty tone, and was one of the first to make the whammy bar an integral part of his sound.
		As Ike and Tina became one of the hardest-working, most popular acts on the so-called chitlin circuit, they recorded for a number of independent labels over the next few years; however, since Turner's original material was increasingly standard-issue, their chart fortunes declined somewhat.

		The Ike and Tina Turner Revue was one of the best live acts of the Sixties and early Seventies, their powerful multiple live albums being a strong testament to this.

		Ike didn't title it and couldn't recall why he indulged in such an uncommercial project, which debuted on a 1963 budget album on the Biharis' Crown imprint (that Rockin' The Blues LP confusingly granted the other four instrumentals new titles, going so far as to list "Cubano Jump" as "Hey Miss Tina").
		Ike's Kings of Rhythm consisted at that point of Hill and Eddie Jones on saxes, Knight on bass, and drummer Eugene Washington.

	Ike Turner - PopMatters Concert Review
		Garlanded by the cheers of a loud, appreciative audience, Ike Turner took his place behind the keyboard and immediately began pounding out the same irresistible boogie-woogie that Pinetop Perkins taught him years ago.
		The hyper-masculine aggression of Turner's music and persona was in itself a fascinating aspect of the performance.
