This is a righteous 21-track collection culled from the Rhino triple-disc set issued in the 1990s. Certainly all the well-known singles are here, such as "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and "Corrina, Corrina," Leiber & Stoller's "The Chicken and the Hawk," and Turner's own "Oke-She-Moke-She-Pop," "Flip, Flop, and Fly," and "Honey Hush." But this set goes further and deeper than most standard hits comps in that there are tracks like Doc Pomus' stellar ballad "Don't You Cry," and Jesse Stone's "Lipstick, Powder and Paint." For the newcomer to Big Joe Turner, this is certainly all killer, no filler; for the hardcore fan, you already have it all but it makes for an excellent mixtape of some of the giant one's best. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
