Released September 1958 (Imperial LP-9055). Mostly recent material on this one although the monster cut “Mardi Gras In New Orleans” dates back to 1953 in the singles discography. Fats peppy rhumba OWNS Professor Longhair’s tune of 1949. Elsewhere, there are three further covers – “I’ll Be Glad When You’re Dead” (Lovin’ Sam, 1929), “What Will I Tell My Heart” (Andy Kirk and his Twelve Clouds Of Joy, 1937) and “Sick And Tired” (Chris Kenner, 1957 – although it seems the bold Mnsr. Domino got his songwriting credit as part of the cover deal!) This is another good set from the ever consistent entertainer but if I was to register any moaning I’d say that the cheap shot “Barrelhouse” is essentially “Hey Fat Man” instrumental in all but name, and the lyrically disastrous “Young School Girl” would’ve been better as a cool instrumental with the sax on lead melody! Mustn’t grumble though, there’s always some magic just around the corner with Fats and “Long Lonesome Journey” is real-deal Chicago juke-joint gold… bet they never played that one out on ABC…
