Originally released on the Blue Note label in 1975, this is a collection of T-Bone Walker’s finest recordings for the Imperial record label. First released as a double album, this collection is now available for the first time on a single CD, and the recordings contained here show Walker in his prime and heyday; a Colossus bestriding the West Coast Blues world, sharp as a tack, all lean, fast fingers and hidalgo moustache. Guys, T-Bone is down. He tells it like it is, about romance with no finance, about working men and cheating women. Ladies, T-Bone is a mover. Watch what he can do with a guitar, playing it between his legs or behind his head. No need to draw you pictures. This is a man with imagination as well as muscles, not to mention a voice like a 10-year-old scotch. A smoochie-coochie man. (Can it please go on record that no member of the Freak Emporium staff actually wrote this?)
1968 release. Tracks:- Goin' To Funky Town - Party Girl - Why My Baby (Keep On Bothering Me) - Jealous Woman - Going To Build Me A Playhouse - Long Skirt Baby Blues - Struggling Blues - I'm In An Awful Mood - I Wish My Baby (Would Come Home At Night)
Great collection of T-Bone's Black & White and early Capitol sides from 1942 to 1947. This features a generous twenty two tracks, starting with "I Got a Break" with Freddy Slack and finishing up with "Vacation Blues." In between are loads of that classic guitar and smooth vocals by one of the all-time greats of the blues, including "They Call It Stormy Monday" and "T-Bone Shuffle."
T-Bone Walker was one of the first musicians to play electric guitar on record, and was a major player at the dawn of the R&B era, charting with the classic "Call It Stormy Monday" in 1948 and building an enviable reputation as a master blues musician and singer over four decades until his death in 1974. Released in 1970, this album was recorded with a wealth of local session players and features Manu Dibango a a guest sax player. Highly regarded at the time of it's release, it won a Grammy under the category of Best Ethnic or Traditional Recording.
