Good-natured great honest-to-God rhythm and blues collaboration between Bay area-guitarist Troyce Key and Oakland based pianist J.J. Malone. A joyride straight to the heart of the blues with each track on this record becomes a mile marker, leading you deeper into the beating heart of the blues, this is a great honest to god rhythm AND blues album. Underrated gem!
Troyce Key:
b. 1937, Jordon Plantation (70m from Monroe), Louisiana, USA, d. 9 November 1992, Oakland, California, USA. In the early 50s Key became interested in blues after hearing a record by Lightnin’ Hopkins and he began playing guitar following a serious illness that resulted in hospitalization. During this time he was greatly influenced by the records of Fats Domino, Johnny Otis, Muddy Waters, and others. He was signed by Warner Brothers Records in 1958 and had three singles released. Key teamed up with J.J. Malone in 1961 and they recorded together around three years later; they also had two albums released by Red Lightnin’ and enjoyed a near-hit in Britain in 1980 with the single ‘I Gotta New Car (I Was Framed)’. He continued, until his death from leukaemia, to present his good-natured, rocking blues in Oakland, California, at his own club called Eli Mile High, which was also the name of his blues record label. ~Rovi
J.J. Malone
b. 20 August 1935, Pete’s Corner, Alabama, USA. Malone was playing guitar and harmonica before his thirteenth birthday, and he began performing at dances and parties when he was 17. In the mid-50s he spent a year in the Air Force and then formed his first band, the Rockers, later called Tops In Blues. Once out of the armed services in 1957, he formed the Rhythm Rockers in Spokane, Washington, and they worked all over the west coast. In 1966, he settled in Oakland, California, and recorded for the Galaxy label, enjoying a hit with ‘It’s A Shame’ in 1972; he subsequently had records issued by the Red Lightnin’, Cherrie, Paris Album and Eli Mile High labels. Malone is a soulful vocalist, adept on both piano and guitar and equally convincing whether turning his hand to straight blues, rocking R&B, or funk-influenced material. In the late 90s he was treated for cancer and is now in remission. ~Rovi
