For pure enjoyment, for simple rockin' good music, nothing can match Willie Perryman a.k.a. Piano Red a.k.a. Doctor Feelgood. He was an albino R&B singer from Georgia, and he played his piano like a jackhammer and belted out his songs. He was unlike anyone else on the planet. Here are his RCA/Groove recordings from the '50s, including 'Rockin' With Red (She Sure Can Rock Me)', 'Right String But The Wrong Yo Yo', 'She Walks Right In', 'Decatur Street Boogie', and 'Woo-Eee'. Then we have the ultra-rare Chess and Jax sessions, and the highly prized '60s OKeh sides that include the original versions of 'Doctor Feelgood' and 'Mister Moonlight', the latter written by his guitar player, Roy Lee Johnson, and covered by the Beatles.
