Shake it loose Mamma! This artistry is not heard in the automatic car wash or in the doctor's office waiting room. Express line at the grocery store needs this.

just wow wow wow

Great stuff.

Absolutely brilliant, and gets better towards the middle and the end when the highest and lowest notes play together. Excellent syncopation near the end.

Awesome. yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Holy Underwear, Batman ! This is my first time hearing this gem ! Another boogie woogie masterpiece from the late great Mr Lewis ! Don't get much better than this ! And it's SO hard to sit still listening to it ! THANKS so much for sharing this rarity with us ! You've MADE my day & my week ! CHEERS !! :-)

I used to play this years ago. Took some doing to get that bass to GROWL like that. I learned to play it straight off the original 78 by ear.

Caption - from memory - of a cartoon I once saw: "Gee, Herman - make that harpsichord GROWL." Meade Lux, great guy.

If you like this, look up Honky Tonk Train Blues. By Mead Lux Lewis.

Just imagine being alive back then and party like crazy to this. I would be dead by now, but it wouldn't matter. The present sucks anyway.

Perfect music to go with making the 20th century limited out of lego

🎹 Boogie Woogie 👍

Magnifico!!!!

I got original 78 record of this.

grandiose!!!!

All these people give credit to Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson. Not to take away from those guys, I love their playing, but Meade Lux Lewis was the most diverse of the big three . No 2 songs of his sound alike.

First Boogie I heard was an old Meade Lux 45. He's been top of my list ever since.

I don't think Cow Cow Davenport gets the credit he deserves, either.

Excellento!...
