This Is Fats Domino!

I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to rate or review this album. It's one classic after another, and it's immediately obvious how influential this album (well really this man) was.
Can only be 5/5.

Short but sweet

not that interesting to me but always good to learn about music history

Niet dat het niet swingt hoor. Maar in vergelijking met Little Richard (uit hetzelfde jaar) die we kort geleden mochten luisteren is dit zo braaf. Wat suffig zelfs.

One of the greats.

Ye olde timey blues that started all of this *gestures with both arms*

This definitely peaks with the first song, as the rest of the album is very bland proto-rock 'n' roll with no substance save for some nice instrumentals and surprises peppered throughout (the instrumental, the guitar in the final track, etc.). It certainly isn't a bad album, but considering this album is already confusing enough to track down what to listen to, it isn't really worth the end result.

Interesting to compare with Buddy Holly which we got yesterday from the same year. Despite the fact that many of the songs on both albums have similar structure (most are twelve bar blues), I find the Fats Domino ones much more listenable and engaging.

That was pretty good bluesy jazzed. Don't know that I will be returning.

Very very old.

Just lovely.

Fats sounds great! This is a great album to reset and come back to ground on core rock and roll sound. The relentless blues changes sort of start to grate on me after a while but thats the blues.

The album this linked to on Spotify has half of it marked as Unplayable for some reason, but I dug around a bit and found a playlist of the correct tracks someone had made. I'm glad I did, this is a great album! New to me, but I recognised a few songs and new of the artist. Not something I'd listen to often, but miles better than that Elvis shite I got a few weeks back!

This was a teriffic album! Fats Domino was revolutionary at his craft. Every song on this album is awesome! I can imagine hearing this in the 50's and how different it must have sounded. To be someone credited with influencing the king of rock and roll Elvis Presley! Fats' piano playing is flawless, and his bluesy lyric delivery make him stand out as one of the greats! The piano solo in La La is fantastic!! I love The swing style feel of this record.

Favourite songs : all of them, but stand out songs include : Blueberry Hill, Blue Monday, La La, What's the Reason I'm Not Pleasing You, Poor Poor Me, Troubles of My Own

Least favourite song: if forced to pick, The Fat Man's Hop only because it is an instrumental number

5/5

En löytäny mistään koko levyä niin laitetaan keskitien 3/5. Puolikkaan levyn perusteella lienee hyvä.

Enjoyable. Nothing I would choose to listen to. 3/5

nothing special

Classic rock n roll. Songs still sound great today.

One of those albums where I can 100% see why it's on here for historical significance. It's not a bad album by any stretch but it's also not terribly interesting in a "Seinfeld is unfunny" kind of way.

Listened to this kind of early rock n roll with my dad on road trips and around town in the car. Solid.
