THIS PHOTO IS HOT

After posting a few by the Ikettes a couple days ago, I guess it's only fair to give boss man and boss lady Ike and Tina Turner some equal time. Not really, I just ran into a bunch of their early stuff and thought I'd better point you towards them before I forgot about it. These are pure rhythm and blues, as in early and raw. If you're just familiar with "Proud Mary" or "River Deep, Mountain High" or other later stuff, you're in for a treat. Tina's sounding pretty tough. Fiends take note: the hosting blog, Groove Addict, seems to really be into them, so there's a lot more, ten posts in all. So if you dig these, hightail it over there. I ran into a couple others by Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm too, the second of which, the decidedly unsquare "Square Dance", has some mean picking.
