Description

Caldonia has been a groundbreaking tune: first as a 1945 hit for the King of Jump Blues, Louis Jordan and again in ’45 when Erskine Hawkins’ version laid down the first hints of the ‘Rock ‘n Roll’ revolution to come.  The writing of this blues classic is attributed to Jordan’s then wife, Fleecie Moore and has the unforgettable line – “Caldonia! Caldonia! What makes your big head so hard?!?”.  The song has seen treatments by many artists from B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Woody Herman and James Brown but the Louis Jordan original can’t be beat!
