Album Notes & Community Reviews

Collecting the highly influential electric bluesman's most successful early singles, this release is driven by his mesmerizing, cyclical guitar boogies and slurred harmonica bursts. The deceptively simple, relaxed grooves masked a sophisticated songwriting craft that would soon heavily inspire the British rhythm and blues movement.
