Capsule Review: James Booker - Classified (1982)


Essentially a singular piano stylist who treated the idea of solo records at best as incidental to his art. When you finally get him into the studio, you make do with what you get. 1976's Junco Partner -more acclaimed- is, however, bunk. This one though, captures good nights. New Orleans parlour tricks and card playing kicks. And a cover of 'Swedish rhapsody'. He sings too, and sometimes he lets other people play along without giving 'em the runaround. He easily could.
