Arthur Gunter, a seemingly obscure blues singer will never be forgotten because he holds a unique place in American pop history. His first recording, 'Baby Let's Play House' in 1954 for Excello Records of Nashville became one of the first recordings by Elvis Presley.
This is the first time both sides of his Excello singles have been collected together in chronological order and the quality of these sessions are all exciting and typical of the kind of blues popular in the south.
Listen to the sounds of Arthur Gunter and wonder at the impression it must have had on the young Elvis Presley - stunning by all accounts. This collection is a must for blues and R&B fans.
Arthur Gunter was a fine singer and guitarist from Tennessee with an engaging laid back style that showed the influence of blues artists he heard in his youth like Blind Boy Fuller. This collection features all his singles recorded for Excello between 1954 and 1961 usually accompanied by small groups, often featuring his brother Al on guitar and the brilliant Skippy Brooks on piano. His first single Baby Let's Play House inspired by country singer Eddy Arnold's I Wanna Play House With You became his only hit - reaching #12 on the R&B charts. A year later Elvis recorded a hopped up version of the song that became one of his most exciting Sun sides. Although Arthur had no further hits his popularity as a live performer enabled him to record another 11 singles fr Excello. His material is a mix of up tempo rocking sides along with slower loping titles - a few of the up tempo sides find him trying to repeat the success of House. Performances include such fine numbers as She's Mine All Mine/ No Happy Home/ Hear My Play/ Baby Can't You See/ Ludella/ Crazy Me/ Little Blue Jeans Woman/ Mind Your Business Babe/ Workin' For My Baby and more. Although GUnter was not a particularly intense performer his easy going style is most appealing. Booklet has informative notes by Bob Fisher and full discographical info. –FS, Roots & Rhythm
