Heavy blues from Jimmy McCracklin – a set of tracks recorded for the Modern label in the mid 50s, with a sound that's much rawer and raunchier than his 60s soul sides! The quality of the set is excellent – with wonderful restoration that makes the tunes crackle with even more raw energy than the original 78s – and the set is wrapped up ina sharp looking 10" sleeve,
to boot! 10 numbers in all, with titles that include "
Reelin' & Rockin'", "Love When It Rains", "Beer Drinkin' Woman", "I'll Get A Break Some Day", "Just Won't Let Her Go", "Ragged As A Mop", "Up & Down Blues", and "Gonna Find Another Woman".
(Soul, Blues) (80s UK pressing. Cover has some light wear.)
