Los Angeles was a mecca for honking, wailing R&B tenor saxmen during the 1950s, and Joe Houston was one of the wildest in town. Twenty-six blasting workouts from the early-to-mid-'50s mark this CD as the best digital indication of Houston's sax-sational wailing now available (pretty much the only vintage one on the shelves, in fact). "All Night Long," "Celebrity Club Drag," and "Rockin' and Boppin'" are among the highlights, taken from the archives of John Dolphin's Recorded in Hollywood and Cash labels. ---Bill Dahl, AllMusic Review
The mighty tenor saxophonist, a premier 1950s R&B honker, recorded prolifically for a slew of Los Angeles firms. This twenty-five-song compilation contains Houston's early to mid 1950s output for John Dolphin's labels, including a savage version of his trademark "All Night Long," two vicious takes of the saxophone national anthem "Flying Home," and sixteen unissued blowouts.
