Here at last is the companion volume to "Kat On The Keys" (CDCHD 736), featuring the rest of Little Willie Littlefield's excellent Modern Records repertoire from the late 1940s and early 1950s.A boogie piano prodigy, the teenage Littlefield was one of Modern's most important signings and - as the title implies - this CD displays every facet of his talent as a singer and piano pounder.Package includes the remaining sides originally issued on Modern 78s, plus a massive 14 previously-unissued masters and/or rehearsal demos featuring just LWL and his piano. Several of these have only been discovered in the last six months.All tracks remastered from the original Modern Records acetates for optimum sound quality. Another worthy addition to Ace's ever-expanding catalogue of post-WWII Rhythm & Blues.
