One of the artists who defined Memphis soul and put
Stax Records
on the map,
Rufus Thomas
is known for liking his R&B hard-edged, gritty, and earthy. That approach served him impressively well on his debut album
Walking the Dog
. In contrast to the sleeker, more elaborate production style favored by the Northern soulsters of
Motown
,
Thomas
rejects pop elements altogether and thrives on rawness on his hits "Walking the Dog" and "The Dog," as well as inspired versions of "Land of 1000 Dances" (which became a major hit for
Wilson Pickett
),
Lee Dorsey
's "Ya Ya," and
John Lee Hooker
's "Boom Boom."
was in his mid-forties when these fun, infectious recordings were made, and he definitely lives up to his title "The World's Oldest Teenager" (a title later given to
Dick Clark
as well). Reissued on CD in the early 1990s,
is an album Memphis soul aficionados shouldn't overlook. ~ Alex Henderson
