If you love the solid blues recordings of T-Bone Walker, or early Gatemouth Brown, then this CD is essential to your collection. Twenty five tracks of post war, West Coast box banging by the well known to the long forgotten. Every cut is killer. This cd features most of Guitar Shortys' 50's sides as well as hard core entries by Lafayette Thomas, Pete ''Guitar'' Lewis and Johnny Fuller.

Thanks to Marc.
