Notes
The Blowing the Fuse series from Germany's Bear Family imprint is one of the more welcome and seriously assembled collections ever to be issued on CD. With each volume dedicated to a year, they go deep into the ghost stories of R&B to find the tunes that connected, not necessarily with sales (though many of these tunes also accomplished that), but in a primary spot nonetheless: the long-gone centerpiece of American popular music in the '40s, '50s, and '60s: the jukebox. Each week, men with loads of 45 rpm slabs of vinyl would extract the dead dogs and fill the box with new tracks that could be played for pennies on the dollar to anyone entering a soda shop, a bar or a nightspot where alcohol was served and imbibed cheaply; a dimestore's lunch counter, or breakfast and lunch haunts all over the nation
