Description
An album that Ace owns, yet has never previously reissued itself, is the 1962 Crown release "Roosevelt Sykes Sings The Blues"�. This short but engaging 10 tracker was recorded in Chicago, and it features the legendary "Honey Dripper"� in the company of a truly stellar set of Chi Town blues giants, namely Willie Dixon on bass, Jump Jackson on drums and Sax Mallard on - well go on, take a guess. Heaven only knows how this wonderfully relaxed Windy City session ended up on a Hollywood-based budget label, but we should all be glad it did as, nearly 4 ½ decades later, it gives Ace the chance to reissue a seldom heard part of Sykes' highly extensive catalogue (and in stereo, too).
