Mr Hound Dog's In Town / Miss Fanny Brown

A 2 track jump blues single (4m 51s) — released July 25th 2011 on Jukebox Jam Series

Two killer vocal Rhythm & Blues sides from the great but sadly somewhat unheralded Roy Brown. 'Mr. Hound Dog's Back In Town' was Roy's snappy retort to Big Mama Thornton's massive breakthrough hit 'Hound Dog'. Roy answered back to speak up for the poor old hound in all of us, and did so over an immense rolling drum-led backing track with some killer guitar licks borrowed from Thornton's original. Another pretty unique record for its time, this is ripe for today's thriving New Breed R&B scene.

On the flip is a great Jump Blues classic, and this time Brown is answering his own call. 'Miss Fanny Brown' was one of his biggest sellers in the late 40s and after already returning to the story with 'Fanny Brown Returns' in 1950, Roy then added this final chapter in '55, which saw Miss Brown shacked up with a well-to-do suitor but still holding a 'mighty, mighty' flame for our hero! With both sides originally released on King, we decided to call this label 'Royalty' as that is surely where Roy Brown's name belongs...
