Notes
Rudi Richard was Slim Harpo’s guitar player for many years and this is from sessions recorded in Baton Rouge after his solo album, with Short fuse.This will delight lovers of Swamp Blues. He was influenced by BB King but had his own unique style, which can be appreciated on this rocking version of Honky Tonk.. He also delivers some solid accordion on the zydeco Good for the Goose.
Henry Gray was Howling Wolf’s piano player for fourteen years, and his main influence is Big Maceo. He also played and recorded with Jimmy Rogers and Jimmy Reed. Henry has a superb voice , and if you love Chicago Blues from the fifties or are a Slim Harpo fan this is a must.
