Pancho Records / Spain / 2023
This is the first volume of a series dedicated to those rare 45s where the guitarists simply went wild. No over-production, just pure energy and grit from the golden era of R&B.
From the stinging leads of Otis Rush to the frantic style of Wild Jimmy Spruill, this compilation brings together deep cuts that are usually impossible to find in their original format. It also features early appearances by James Cotton, The Ohio Untouchables, and a young Mac Rebennack before he became Dr. John.
