Terrific set of great electric blues rarities - mostly from the 60s along with some from the 50s. Includes tracks not previously reissued on CD as well as many hard to find on CD. The emphasis is on tracks featuring hot guitar and it doesn't get much hotter than Sly Williams' "Boot Hill" with a guitar solo that will peel the paint off your walls, and the flip "I Believe In A Woman" is almost as tough. There are a fair number of great blues guitar instrumentals including three by Ike Turner - two of them under his alter ego of Icky Renrut.
There are more instrumentals from the great New York guitarist Jimmy Spruill (one under his own name and one with The Charlie Lucas Combo), the superb and influential West Coast guitarist Lafayette (who also sings on the superb "Weekly Blues"), The Rocking Brothers (hot group with Johnny Guitar Watson on guitar who also appears on Floyd Dixon's "Let's Go Smitty"), Earl Hooker, two instrumentals from the Johnny Otis Orchestra featuring stellar guitar from Pete Guitar Lewis and others.
On the vocal side we have fine sides from Juke Boy Bonner, Guitar Tommy Moore, Bob Reed (a fine version of Howling Wolf's "I'm Leaving You"), Johnny Morisette, Willie Cobbs, Little Miss Janice (superb bluesy gospel from 14 year old vocalist accompanying herself with very funky guitar), G. "Davy" Crockett, Prince Charles, Jimmy Witherspoon (his unexpected but very effective cover of the rock 'n' roll hit "Endless Sleep") and lots more. Superb sound and brief introductory notes from compiler James Austin.
