Quicksand / Groove Records Story 1954-1956 / Various

undefined

Founded as a spet rhythm and blues label, Groove was a subsidiary of the mighty RCA Victor and would enjoy a limited life. Here we are concentrating on its first and most fruitful incarnation under Bob Rolontz, with tracks from the likes of Rebecca Lea, King Curtis and Sonny Terry. This collection of music that Rolontz spotted and brought to the marketplace confirms him as a man who knew all about the Rhythm and the Blues, so let the grooves go on... CD 1 1.
