Blues Surprises sbd coll. Vol.1 (w/Muddy Waters, B.B.King, Big Joe Williams, Champion Jack Dupree & more)
Going through my collection I, found some very rare bits and pieces .....
I felt that these should fit very well in my first Blues compilation!
With one exception, Iīve included here everything I have of this short sets!
Most stuff is copied from masters or 1stgeneration tapes...
The quality varies from great to excellent, a CD from this stuff will be very listenable!!
Setlist:
-------Big Joe Williams aka King Solomon Hill:
