Joe Turner- Singing The Blues-LP

Joe Turner – Singing The Blues

Singing The Blues catches Big Joe Turner in a late-’60s blues setting, recording his own material for BluesWay rather than leaning only on standards. Originally released in 1967, the album connects Turner’s jump blues and rhythm & blues roots with a jazz-blues production setting shaped by Bob Thiele, a producer closely associated with both fields. Turner’s voice and authorship are the appeal here: the songs are his, and the record has long been noted for showing him still in strong form. This copy is a 1969 vintage vinyl pressing, priced at $12, making it an affordable Joe Turner blues LP with good artist and label-era context. The record is graded VG+, a solid everyday listening grade where a few light lines, sleeve marks, or small scuffs may be present, but not wear that should dominate the music. A nice under-$15 copy for anyone building out a blues, jump blues, or rhythm & blues shelf.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
