  • Description

    For the first time the a serious and comprehensive box set reissue devoted to the jumping postwar Houston scene. Much rare and fabulous material.

    The legends like Little Willie Littlefield, Joe Houston, Big Mama Thornton and Smokey Hogg rub shoulders here with some delightful obscurities(try Little T Bone, Lonnie Lyons amongst others for simply the best newly electrified tough blues). This is the kind of set that makes both a casual buyer and serious collector take notice.
