Columbus S. Perry (January 20, 1922 – February 5, 2009),[1] better known as Piney Brown, was an American R&B and blues singer and songwriter, who has been described as a "fine, big-voiced shouter". He released a string of singles between 1948 and 1988 and issued two albums late in his career. His songs have been recorded by Little Milton and James Brown.

Back in the '40s, a variety of things were done with the 12-bar format. Southern country blues (Mississippi, Texas, or otherwise) was '40s blues (as well as '20s and '30s blues) at its most rural, raw and basic; jump blues, on the other hand, had an urban sophistication and a jazz-minded, dance-oriented outlook. Jump blues swung unapologetically hard, and there is plenty of hard-swinging exuberance on Hoot and Holler Saturday Night! This CD focuses on two of the jump blues shouters who recorded for the independent Apollo Records in the late '40s and early '50s: Piney Brown and Eddie Mack. The singers don't perform together, and Hoot and Holler Saturday Night! (which spans 1948-1950) is what is now called a split CD. Neither Brown nor Mack was a huge name in jump blues -- neither was as well known as Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, or Wynonie Harris. But both of them had small followings, and both were enjoyably gutsy shouters along the lines of Harris. All 22 of the tracks on this 2002 CD (seven of which were previously released) are examples of early R&B -- early as in pre-James Brown, pre-Ray Charles, pre-soul, pre-rock & roll R&B. The jump blues that Brown and Mack performed was part of early R&B (which was called "race music" before producer Jerry Wexler coined the term rhythm & blues in 1949), and back in the day, early R&B was heavily influenced by swing. In fact, one of the musicians who accompanies Mack is tenor saxophonist Willis "Gator" Jackson, a superb jazz improviser. Those who have only a casual interest in jump blues would do well to look for a best-of collection by Turner, Jordan, or Harris, but Hoot and Holler Saturday Night! is easily recommended to the more seasoned jump blues/early R&B enthusiasts. ~Alex Henderson

Atlas Records was founded in 1951 by trumpeter Thomas Robinson, who located his headquarters in Harlem just down the street from the Apollo Theatre. Early on Atlas concentrated on releasing explosive jump blues sides before switching predominantly to vocal groups by the end of the decade. Robinson started a second record imprint, Angle Tone Records, in 1958, which again centered mostly on doo wop material, but the occasional jump blues track slipped through now and again. This blistering set brings together some of the great lost blues sides from the two labels, and for those only familiar with the vocal group material from Atlas and Angle Tone, it is quite a revelation. This is fire-breathing stuff, full of raw, loose sax runs and some scorching guitar, and the needle must have been buried in the red for all of these sessions. Among the standout tracks are the opener, "I Done Woke Up," featuring the flame-throwing slide guitar of Louisiana Red, the stomping "You Know You Don't Want Me" by guitarist Mojo Watson, James Wayne's muscular "This Little Letter," and baritone saxophonist Emmet Davis' rattling, ramshackle "Woke Up This Morning." This is quite the blues explosion indeed, with over an hour of energetic gutbucket dance blues, all of it featuring a delightfully ragged immediacy. ~Steve Leggett

This collection of twenty-five vintage blues vocals will help to illustrate the true scope of the record activities of the Atlas and Angletone labels, which up until now have only been represented on CDs by their vocal group recordings. The uniform quality of these recordings should help to dispel from the listener the mistaken belief that lack of commercial success is always due to poor musical content. These recordings can hold their own with anything that was coming out of New York during that era. Featuring the explosive H-Bomb Ferguson along with Mojo Watson, Louisiana Red, Mae Mercer, Piney Brown and many more. This collection marks the first CD release of these magnificent vintage recordings. A "must own" for vintage blues fans.
