Jackson`s run of hits for the King label came between 1947-1952. He was one of a handful of top-notch jump blues bandleaders who helped plant the roots of rock & roll, laying down some nicely salacious tracks and fiery saxophone solos along the way. This King Greatest Hits package, though, provides only a very small taste of Jackson`s varied and exciting output -- Greatest Travesty is really more apropos. In lieu of all Jackson`s hits and a healthy dose of some other standout cuts, the label has included only four chart toppers (the title track, "Sneaky Pete," "I Can`t Go on Without You," "Why Don`t You Haul Off and Love Me") and a few filler cuts. Fans in search of a good overview of Jackson`s career should check out Charly`s 22-track Badman Jackson That`s Me collection and steer clear of this flimsy release. ~ Stephen Cook
