Rider: Washington Rhythm \u0026 Blues 1958-1962 [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor over 30 years, and from the Rock 'n' Roll era onwards, Phil Flowers was the backbone - and the heartbeat - of the Washington DC R\u0026amp;B and soul scene. Between the mid-50s and the mid-80s, Phil released more than 30 45s. On labels occasionally big but mostly small. He also had over half a dozen album releases, the majority of which did little to further his career as they were released on budget labels and not sold in conventional record stores. Although he came close a couple of times in the late 60s, not one of Phil's 45s breached the R\u0026amp;B or pop charts. Not that this is in any way an indication of their quality, which was and is mostly very high. Indeed, several are now in the highest demand among collectors of 50s and early 60s black American music, and have been bootlegged as 'lookalike' 45s. Jasmine's new collection provides an easy and economical way to get almost all of Phil's early work in one place. \"D C Rider\" contains just about every Flowers single from 1958 to 1962 inclusive, plus all of his tracks from a budget album he 'shared' with Nat King Cole in '62. Backing Phil on most of these tracks are two of DC's most eminent R\u0026amp;B bands, led by two legendary R\u0026amp;B names in Thomas 'TNT' Tribble and Frank Motley, who also has his own excellent Jasmine CD \"Go! Man! Go!\" (JASMCD 3247)., Phil's formidable body of early work has been long overdue a retrospective like the one Jasmine offers here. It's a pleasure to be able to bring you such a comprehensive overview as \"D C Rider\" and, in doing so, to be able to turn the spotlight on an important but somewhat neglected artist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoney Chile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat It Means to Be Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm a Lover Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Stole My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosa-Lee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Kissin at the Hop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalking at Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSadie from Haiti\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHam 'N' Eggs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevil Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBingo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Did I Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo More Tossin' and Turnin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Dances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC C Rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMove on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhole Lotta Woman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwistin' Beat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Need You Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Shouldn't Do Me Like You Do\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet Me Come Home\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrazy Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThink It Over\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Devil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 604988327120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jasmine Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.19.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42110404001867,"sku":"431437","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/4287786-3089634.jpg?v=1770181445","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/phil-flowers-d-c-rider-washington-rhythm-blues-1958-1962-cd","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
