Notes

In addition to the contemporary single "I'm in Love Again," Fats Domino's second long-player includes a brace of superb early- to mid-'50s tracks, among them "I Love Her," highlighted by Wendell DuConge's alto sax and Herb Hardesty's tenor sax. The highlights include "Second Line Jump," a pounding sax and piano-driven variation on "The Hucklebuck" that makes a good dance number in its own right, Domino's splendidly sung "Goodbye," and the jaunty "If You Need Me." Fats' piano takes the spotlight on the rollicking "Swanee River Hop," a genuine virtuoso performance at the ivories.
