In my opinion, the best parts of music are passionate, emotional outbursts. You know, those few bars in your favorite song that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Sometimes those few bars are expanded into entire songs, albums or careers. This week, I pieced together a compilation of some great, passionate, and yell-filled performances. Whether it's in blues, gospel, soul, funk, or early rock uncontrollable emotion will find it's way into your ears. This list includes some classics from Etta James, Otis Redding, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Cab Calloway, and Howlin' Wolf. But I snuck in a few tunes you might not know as well from Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Big Mama Thornton, Wanda Jackson, and The Hightower Brothers. Please enjoy and please play at the highest possible volume.
