The first time these seminal early recordings by one of the most influential and creative figures in post war Blues and R&B/Soul. All of his rocking R&B sides are here up to 1955 and as a bonus the final tracks on disc D feature an album he cut in the 1970's where he revisited his classic sound with a terrific band including Wild Willie Moore on sax. This 4 disc set is the first box set and serious coverage of this artist.
