AMG Review of No Moe! The Greatest Hits [Verve]

Scott Yanow
All Music Guide

With the exception of four numbers taken from a 1957 set in which he heads a quintet co-starring organist Jackie Davis, this CD consists of a dozen songs taken from a 1956 date already reissued (with additional material) on the previously issued CD Rock 'n' Roll. Louis Jordan, who had not had a new hit since 1951 (and unfortunately none were in the future) is mostly heard remaking his earlier triumphs such as "Saturday Night Fish Fry," "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," and "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie." The music is spirited, but the earlier CD is the better purchase.
