VA - R&B Humdingers Vol. 01 -14 [2009-2013] (14 x CDs)

The “R&B Humdingers” is an enthralling CD series that guides listeners through the golden age of Rhythm & Blues music. This anthology, without dwelling on individual tracks or artists, presents a rich array of sounds that marked a pivotal era in music history. Rhythm & Blues, or R&B, surfaced in the late 1940s as a musical style that blended elements of jazz, blues, and gospel. It was distinguished by its robust, rhythmic beat and heartfelt vocals, often conveying narratives of love, loss, and the human condition. The “R&B Humdingers” series embodies this spirit, offering a glimpse into the lively and dynamic realm of R&B music.

The series encompasses 14 volumes, each a treasure chest of R&B gems. The first 10 volumes each has 20 tracks and released by Yam Records, the remaining volumes were released by Vee Tone Records and contains 22 tracks on each CD. The musical style showcased in these compilations is primarily Rock & Roll and Rhythm & Blues. These genres, especially in the mid-20th century, were groundbreaking, shattering norms and paving the way for many modern music styles. The series excels in capturing the vitality and creativity of this era.

The “R&B Humdingers” series thrived during a period when R&B was evolving and shaping other genres. The series features music from the 1950s and 1960s, an era often hailed as the ‘golden age’ of R&B. This was a time when R&B was more than just a genre; it was a potent cultural movement that resonated with people worldwide.

Immersing oneself in the “R&B Humdingers” series is akin to stepping back in time. The music whisks listeners away to a time of jukeboxes and dance halls, where the rhythm of the blues dominated the sound waves. The series doesn’t just offer songs; it narrates a story of a vibrant and transformative period in music history.

The “R&B Humdingers” series is a tribute to a genre and an era. It encapsulates the energy and rhythm of a time when music was a potent medium of expression and a catalyst for cultural transformation. Whether you’re a seasoned R&B enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, the “R&B Humdingers” series promises a unique and captivating listening journey. (B)
