MIXING WITH DIXON * TEDDY REYNOLDS * OLDIES (BOOT) * JA
Pianist, singer and composer Teddy Reynolds was from Huston, Texas, he died in 1998, he recorded sporadically under his own name throughout the 1950s and into the 60s, for such labels as Aura, Kent, Magnificent, Sittin' In With and Speciality. He also played piano with many bands and played piano behind Bobby Bland and others. Mixing With Dixon is a slow Blues with a mean and rasping saxophone and twanging guitar lead, seen here on a Jamaican boot, it was probably a favourite with the older generation at Blues dances; a great tune to shuffle to. I am unable to determine what it's original issue was, this might be because Mixing With Dixon is not its real title but a given one that Jamaicans knew it as, my guess is that it is from the early 1950s as it seems to be dubbed from a 78.
