Irene Redfield

Some changes were designed to the name of the basic blues singer first of her brief career in the first ’50s, providing both improvements and interruptions. She was originally Irene Redfield Davis when manufacturer Joe Davis started recording her within his agreement roster for an MGM tempo and blues label. This is shortened to the simpler Irene Redfield by enough time her recordings such as for example “Shakin’ the Blues Away” had been released, but this didn’t end Billboard mag from contacting her “Eileen Redfield” in promotion blurbs. The top quality of the artist’s recorded shows is a topic where credit could be designated liberally amongst all worried. Songwriter Irene Higginbotham was seriously involved, contributing all of the tracks cut at among Redfield’s periods. A dynamite studio room music group co-led by F. Henri Klickman and Fred Norman could also have made almost anything audio good; and actually, this is exactly what they finished up doing in this intense amount of Davis’ studio room productions when among the business lead singers didn’t arrive. Redfield had not been the no-show, however the arrangements for just two of her tracks were basically re-recorded without vocals, amazingly becoming strikes, “Birmingham Particular” and “OLD-FASHIONED Blues”. Bassist Milt Hinton and drummer Panama Francis ultimately became the most well-known members of the combo. Redfield herself has got the nod for stylish scat performing and the capability to match the vitality of the support band on the fantastic track “Whalin’ Apart” from 1953.
