LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

This CD showcases a true guitar virtuoso who was no slouch on the piano either. His break on "Illinois Blues" is almost off-putting in the nonchalance with which he twists the notes around, and "How Long 'Buck'" features him giving forth some funky piano in an almost playful manner. Fans of blues guitar or piano need have no hesitation in picking this disc up. Illinois Blues ought to be heard by anyone who claims an interest in the blues. Track listing 1.
