Lattie Moore

Juke Box To Juke Joint

The Anthology 1952 - 1962

(Jasmine)

Lattie was notable among those exploring honky tonk swing and bop in the years before rock 'n' roll's birth. Recording for King and Starday, among others, he often featured fiddle and steel guitar in material of country blood. But the prominence of drums made it another matter entirely; some songs verged on rockabilly, hinting at the burgeoning sound soon to electrify the world and leave it forever changed.
