This Is Fats Domino!

I'm familiar with a bunch of Fats Domino songs, and there are a bunch on this album. I've never listened to a Fats Domino album start-to-finish though.

This is exactly what I was expecting, and it's solid.

Was tough to find this album but Fats does a grand ol’ job.

Wow fat people do matter ❤️❤️❤️

good rock'n roll abum

This album is pure, unadulterated Blues and Rock N Roll. Every track is a winner, and you can totally see why Elvis and the Beatles looked up to Fats. It's that classic, feel-good rock and roll and New Orleans blues that's both super important and just plain fun to listen to. "Blueberry Hill" and "Blue Monday" are amazing, showcasing his vocals and piano perfectly.

The only downside was trying to actually listen to it. Finding the 1957 album was a pain, the Spotify version was missing most of the album. I had to piece it together myself, but the music is so good, it was worth it. It's a happy, easy listening vibe and a reminder that Fats is the real deal.

Great 50s duwop

stupid hard to find. even the "version" i found was a spotify playlist with a song missing.
anyway thanks for inventing rock mr domino

Another hard one to find. Also a bit confusing as it seems there are multiple albums with similar names, but luckily someone completing this journey put together a YouTube playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLowQCq3Ss89h_zdP0-wIycRkVk-nAh6i9&si=bxBwlFUcsPlB6FYG

As for the actual listening experience, it was fine. I appreciate Fat Domino’s influence on modern rock and roll and I enjoyed listening to this album, but am I going to revisit it ever? Probably not.

It swings, it rocks and it rolls but it's a bit too dated for me.

I don't know much about oldies and I do not usually listen to this kind of music. But it is obvious that this is good, and I enjoyed it a lot. No doubt The Beatles listened to all this stuff in their early years.

This was lovely mood music for me, very emotive, wonderful to hear while relaxing with a coffee, I love his voice so would have liked to have heard him sing As Time Goes By but that’s a minor issue.

Sounds ancient but respect.

*Classic rock and roll- love the historical significance

About half of this album was unavailable on Spotify, but I did manage to find a complete YouTube playlist from a user called "1001 Albums Journey" who must have encountered the same issue 8 years ago.

Anyway, another one to file under "appreciate having heard it but have no desire to revisit". Sounds like exactly the sort of thing you'd hear in a smoke-filled dive bar.

So far, this has been the hardest album to listen to, physically, just because it isn't anywhere for some reason. It's not on Spotify, and a different, similarly named album is all I can find on Youtube. Shout-out to a certain Spotify user for frankensteining this album back together from best of compilations, you're my hero. But how's the album? It's pretty good. This is one of the better really early Rock n Roll albums I've heard. While this doesn't have the raw energy of someone like Little Richard, the strength of the songs here makes up for it, and Fats Domino is still a very charismatic presence on these songs. There's some R&B and jazz flavor here and the songs are brief, catchy, and enjoyable. I still don't think I'll be coming back here a ton, but Fats Domino's music is kind of a blast while it's on.

Liker Fats Domino godt, og all musikken hans passer perfekt som diegetisk musikk i filmer. Det er det samme om handlingen er på 50-tallet eller i dag, det er tidløst.

Men som album er det litt verre. 50-tallet er som kjent før albumeraen og også her er det egentlig bare en samling enkeltlåter slengt sammen. De opererer i tillegg innenfor et ganske snevert musikalsk uttrykk, fordi rock and roll ikke hadde fått tiden til å utvikle seg. Det er ikke noen tvil om at Fats er viktig, og siden konseptet er 1001 album så har de vel måttet velge noe, selv om de aller feteste låtene hans ("Ain't That A Shame" og "I'm Walkin'") ikke er med.

Heldigvis er albumet kort, og den har jo "Blueberry Hill" og "You Done Me Wrong".

Good voice and fun tunes. What more can I say? It was ok.

I managed to cobble together a version from various compilations on Tidal. Really great stuff. I remember being amazed when he turned up in the TV show Tremé. If you want to hear a cool tribute to him check out Guided By Voices' The Unsinkable Fats Domino referencing his survival of Hurricane Katrina.

Made me want to play backgammon.

One of the architects of rock n roll! But as this is the compilation, I will not go more than 4 stars.
