laviolet 12th Feb 2019		Billboard, May 31, 1952, p. 36 "Rockin' with Fes": Nice effort by the singer on this rockin' item, with the ork punching away thruout. Side is not outstanding, however. "Gone So Long": Boogie blues, with a fne beat and a lot of good piano is sung pleasantly by Byrd.



Excello-2101 SUBS 16th Apr 2014		Reviewed by BB in their May 31, 1952 issue, where it got less than a stellar welcome. I think it's fair to say that it has become more appreciated as the years have gone by.
