Billy Hawks —
New Genius Of The Blues/
Prestige/BGP (UK), 1967/1968. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Tasty bluesy organ material from Prestige, featuring 2 hard-to-find records, back-to-back in a single set!

John Lee Hooker —
Country Blues Of John Lee Hooker ... LP 
Prestige, 1959. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The legendary John Lee Hooker, heard here in one of his more obscure recordings from the late 50s – at least in contrast to his famous sides for Vee Jay Records! This set's an unusual date – recorded in Detroit, despite the claim of the title – and featuring Hooker on acoustic ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original blue label pressing, with silver text, microphone logo, and deep groove! Vinyl has a short click on side two, but is very clean overall. Cover has some light wear, but is nice too – a really nice original!)
Prestige, 1960. Very Good ... $69.99
A really well-recorded set by Lightnin Hopkins – one that's got a crisper, cleaner sound than some of his others of the time – yet which still comes across with all his best rootsy modes too! The instrumentation here is quite spare – just Hopkins' acoustic guitar behind his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono Bluesville pressing with deep groove and RVG stamp. Vinyl has some pressing bumps, but is nice and clean. Cover has water damage a few inches off the spine, with some staining and peeling.)
Lightnin Hopkins —
Soul Blues ... CD Prestige, 1965. Used ... Out Of Stock
With Leonard Gaskin on bass and Herbie Lovelle on drums – on tracks that include "Too Many Drivers", "I'm Going To Build A Heaven Of My Own", "Lonesome Graveyard", "The Howling Wolf", and "Black Ghost Blues". CD
Lonnie Johnson & Elmer Snowden —
Blues & Ballads ... CD Prestige, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
Rootsy blues from the brief stretch when Prestige Records was experimenting with non-jazz material – a back-to-basics session that features Johnson on electric guitar and vocals, Snowden on acoustic guitar, and only Wendell Marshall's jazz-trained bass to back the pair up. The work's in a ... read more CD
(Original Blues Classics pressing.)
Etta Jones —
Don't Go To Strangers (RVG edition) ... CD Prestige, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
Could anyone ever utter a sexier line than "Don't go to strangers, come to me?" We think not, and it's material like that that makes the album a real killer from Etta Jones – one of her best from the 60s, cut when she was really developing her skills as a vocalist, but still had ...

Furry Lewis —
Done Changed My Mind ... LP Prestige/Bluesville, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Pure genius – just vocals and guitar from this legendary Memphis figure! LP, Vinyl record album
(Original blue label Bluesville pressing, with deep groove – in great shape! Back cover has some very light staining, but cover is great overall.)
Fred McDowell, Ed Young, & Others —
Southern Journey 10 – Yazoo Delta Blues & Spirituals ... LP Prestige, 1961. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A very unusual set from Prestige records – rural southern blues, recorded by Alan Lomax with help from Shirley Collins – featuring tracks from Fred McDowell, John Dudley, Matti Gardner, Miles Pratcher, Ed Young, Viola James, Leroy Gary, and Leroy Miller! LP, Vinyl record album
(Original pressing – red label with deep groove! Cover has light wear, but this is a great copy.)

Jimmy Witherspoon —
Blue Spoon/Prestige/OJC, 1964. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A bit of blues, and a bit of jazz – in that sweet style that Jimmy was handling so well on his 60s recordings for Prestige. Backing is by a small combo that includes Gildo Mahones on piano, Kenny Burrell on guitar, and Roy Haynes on drums – and titles include "The Time Has ... read more CD

Jimmy Witherspoon —
Evenin' Blues ... CD Prestige/Original Blues Classics, 1964. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great batch of raw R&B vocals from Jimmy Witherspoon – along with backing by an excellent group that includes the great Clifford Scott on tenor, the always-great T-Bone Walker on guitar, and the little-known Bert Kendrix on organ. Tracks are short, and have a bit more fire than some of ... (Vocalists, Blues) read more CD
