  • All Music Guide

    King Curtis's most spectacular playing was done for Atlantic in the late '50s, as saxman for the Coasters and at the helm of the solo excursions reissued here (plus those on the outofprint Atlantic Honkers anthology). Seven of the upper deck's eight sides are from this period, and they stand as some of the greatest sax instrumentals ever done especially the jungle groove of "Castle Rock," and the piping hot "Chili," and the regal frenzy of "Restless Guitar" and "Boss." The Aside closer is the first of nine cuts from his second stint with Atlantic, which lasted from 1965 until his tragic death in 1971. "Rocky Roll" is a "tributetorock" number, quoting "Haunted House," "Yakety Yak," "Maybelline," "Slippin' and Slidin'," and more, which is only cool if your living room already resembles a scene out of Beach Blanket Bingo. This is a tough act to follow, and the late'60s waxings on the flip side, though commercially successful soul formula hits, sound sadly uninspired today. The slow funk ...of "Cookout" and his remake of Big Jay's "There Is Something on Your Mind" are the only tunes that don't tread on Junior Walker's turf. - Myles Boisen, Roots Rhythm Newsletter., All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

King Curtis

King Curtis was the last of the great RB tenor sax giants. He came to prominence in the mid-'50s as a session musician in New York, recording, at one time or another, for most East Coast RB labels. A long association with Atlantic/Atco began in 1958, especially on recordings by the Coasters. He recorded singles for many small labels in the '50s -- his own Atco sessions ... Read more
