In addition to the contemporary single
"I'm in Love Again,"
Fats Domino
's second long-player includes a brace of superb early- to mid-'50s tracks, among them
"I Love Her,"
highlighted by
Wendell DuConge
's alto sax and
Herb Hardesty
's tenor sax. The highlights include
"Second Line Jump,"
a pounding sax and piano-driven variation on
"The Hucklebuck"
that makes a good dance number in its own right,
Domino
's splendidly sung
"Goodbye,"
and the jaunty
"If You Need Me."
Fats
' piano takes the spotlight on the rollicking
"Swanee River Hop,"
a genuine virtuoso performance at the ivories. ~ Bruce Eder
