Head Man Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 I see this is due for release by Arhoolie next week: and if it's anywhere as good as his other releases then it's a "must-have". His album "Smokey Babe and his Friends" was the first blues album I ever bought - at Dobell's Record Shop in Charing X Road in the 60's. Released on Doug Dobell's 77 Records label...... ... it's terrific and was later released on CD by Arhoolie as a 'two-fer' with Herman E. Johnson. Quote
kh1958 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Smoky Babe is fabulous. I ordered the new release yesterday. The Arhoolie CD release is Louisiana Country Blues. His Prestige/Bluesville release, Hottest Brand Goin', is excellent. As far as I know, those two were all there was available until this new release. Quote
kh1958 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Received the new one today (listening now) and it sounds just as good as the other two so far. Quote
