Elly Roberts reviews

Various: Rhythm & Booze

Distributed by
Stateside (EMI)


Tracks from the huge roster of legendary British pioneering label Stateside, now backed by EMI.

The label began trading in 1962. Its label was black with white print and the ‘S’ was written as an American dollar sign. It issued a large number of USA labels including ABC, Bell and the Tamla/Gordy/Motown group, which made it a good label for the Mods to hear new music from the states.

There’s plenty here to raise your spirits, and sober you in an instant with selection from the 1940s and 1950s. It sounds like some of the artists (or writers) have had some close shaves under the influence as many a song is sung with genuine conviction.

Tales of high-jinx juxtaposed by the melancloic (or is that alcoholic?) blues purveyed by many a desperate Bluesman who’s having problems with the old trouble and stife. Invariably they gravitate to the nearest bar to drown their sorrows and suffer the consequences - a hellish hangover or a roasting from the missus.


The love fallouts are littered across the tracklisting e.g. Cheap Old Wine And Whiskey. It’s not just the men who’ve got problems though because the ladies throw their weight behind some swaying jazzy numbers - Little Esther (sounding more like Billie Holliday) on Aged & Mellow Blues which is a gem.

Star tracks included a sublime R&B drifter - Let Me Go Home Whisky by Amos Milburn and the legendary Jimmy Rogers on the out-and-out R&B romp of Sloppy Drunk.

Just the tonic (ouch!)for the morning after the night before.

No hic-cups here! Classic collection.
