If You Got to Ask You Ain"t Got It
While a lot of imported Fats sets have come on to these shores, none of them have had the access to the original tapes that this one has. Disc one presents Fats playing his own compositions, disc two is all-instrumental, and disc three features Waller-ized interpretations of Tin Pan Alley standards; between the three, every classic track is here. Includes Honeysuckle Rose; Ain"t Misbehavin"; The Joint Is Jumpin"; African Ripples; Honey Hush; I"m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter; Two Sleepy People; Your Feet"s Too Big; The Sheik of Araby; (I"ll Be Glad When You"re Dead) You Rascal You; Dinah , and more.
