Joe Hill Louis & his One-Man Band – a’jumpin & a’shufflin’ the blues 1950 – 1954 cd

Cd op Jasmine,
‘Joe Hill Louis is a highly regarded Memphis blues artist whose career never really took off nationally. Despite this he was very famous around Memphis and recorded a considerable body of work. Essentially a one-man-band. He sang, played guitar, blew harmonica all with added percussion making one of the most exciting and danceable sounds of 50s R&B. He was a pioneer of distorted and over amplified guitar which can be heard on one of his most famous and influential recordings, “Boogie In The Park”. Also featured are some rare recordings from labels like Checker, Meteor, Rockin’ and Big Town.’
