Review by Luiz Alvares

Little Queenie is the sixth studio album by Bill Black's Combo, released in 1964. The album is a blend of rock and roll, R&B, and soul music. The album features Bill Black on bass, Reggie Young on guitar, Jerry Arnold on drums, Joe Lewis Hall on piano, and Martin Willis on saxophone.

The album opens with the title track, "Little Queenie," a fast-paced rock and roll number with a catchy guitar riff and saxophone solo. The album also features covers of classic songs such as "Blueberry Hill," "Good Golly Miss Molly," and "Twist and Shout." The band's rendition of "Twist and Shout" stands out, with its energetic guitar and saxophone solos.

The album also includes a few original compositions, such as "Jump Back Joe" and "Soul Twist." These songs showcase the band's ability to write catchy, danceable tunes, and are a testament to their talent as musicians.
