Blues shouter

A blues shouter is a blues singer, often male, capable of singing unamplified with a band.

Notable blues shouters include:

• Walter Brown, of the Jay McShann orchestra.[1]
• H-Bomb Ferguson[2]
• Wynonie Harris[2][3]
• Duke Henderson, who operated mainly in the late 1940s and early 1950s.[4][5][6][7]
• Jimmy Rushing, blues shouter with Count Basie.[1][2]
• Big Joe Turner – his style hardly changed at all between 1938's "Roll 'Em Pete", and 1954's "Shake, Rattle and Roll". AllMusic called Turner "the premier blues shouter of the postwar era".[8]
• Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, an unusual combination of blues shouter and bebop alto saxophone player.[1][2]
• Big Joe Williams[1]
• Jimmy Witherspoon, who also appeared with Jay McShann.[1][2]
• Billy Wright[1]
