Hot on the heels of his blockbuster comeback album, Blowin\u2019 Down The House – Big Jay\u2019s Latest & Greatest, R&B vocalist and the King Of Honking Sax, Big Jay McNeely, announces this incredible concert recording from 1989 to be released in a multi-media package September 15. Honkin\u2019 & Jivin\u2019 At The Palomino features a killer concert performance put together as part of Ronnie Mack\u2019s well-loved Barn Dance, an musical showcase that drew everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Screamin\u2019 Jay Hawkins. The set pulls from multiple decades of soul, pop, rock & R&B, here given a bit of the country swing and twang by the amazing Barn Dance band that includes Ronnie Mack himself! The video footage proves that Big Jay\u2019s showmanship never diminished as he entreats and cajoles the audience to dance, sing and shout along with him through such barn-burners as \u201cI Can\u2019t Stop Loving You,\u201d \u201cAll That Wine Is Gone,\u201d \u201cPretty Girls Everywhere\u201d and Big Jay\u2019s own smash hit single \u201cThere Is Something On Your Mind!\u201d The DVD even includes a bonus interview with Big Jay speaking candidly about his long and influential career.<\/p>\n
Big Jay McNeely\u2019s incredible career began in the \u201840s and saw him play with several major R&B and blues legends of the late \u201840s and early \u201850s such as Little Richard, B.B. King, Etta James and Junior Wells. He scored his first major hit with the 1949 smash hit instrumental \u201cDeacon\u2019s Hop\u201d and scored again with a R&B vocal ballad \u201cThere Is Something On Your Mind\u201d featuring Little Sonny Warner. He pioneered the flamboyant playing style called \u201chonking\u201d and is widely acknowledged as one of the first musical entertainers to make showmanship an important element of the live concert experience. His music continues to be an important signifier for that early era, earning McNeely gigs at major festivals both here and abroad as well as having his music featured in the 2013 Sean Penn film Gangster Squad starring and last year\u2019s biopic Trumbo starring Bryan Cranston.<\/p>\n
