Product Description
How'd you find out, Lightnin' (interjection by Lazy Lester) I eavesdropped and heard her mother said You know, she got a way of huggin' and kissin' She'll bring livin' back to the dead.By the mid-1960s the down-home blues was on the way out as a commercial entity with the black audience of the South - soul music was sweeping in with the hip young sounds of the day. Producer Jay Miller did try to update Lightnin' Slim's style by introducing organs and breaking away from the standard 12-bar format, which as liner note writer Dave Sax recalls did bring moans of emotional distress' from Lightnin's keen British collectors at the time. However, Dave admits that a retrospective look...reveals positive aspects as well.Indeed the final Excello session is as blue as can be, climaxing with a remake of his first hit from 1954. As Sax notes, so much had changed and yet nothing had changed...these are songs about jail and the workhouse, restlessness and wondering.Our booklet contains a discography by Dave Sax of all Lightnin' Slim's Excello recordings. It shows that of the 101 available titles, Ace will have reissued 95 with the release of Winter Time Blues. Of the remaining six unissued titles, appears on our Genuine R&B compilation, and the other five are alternate takes of issued cuts. Now that's a comprehensive reissue series!--John Broven, Ace UK * PriceZombie is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.
