Synopsis

Album Description
Big Bill Broonzy was an enormous influence on the early European Blues movement from the early 1950?s: his acoustic tours promoted by folk and jazz promoters made him the pre-eminent bluesman (along with Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee) on the scene for a short time - yet his fame as an ethnic down-home performer was based to an extent on a misconception. Although he had performed in this style prior to 1936, Big Bill Broonzy was in fact one of the pioneers of the Chicago band style, making a slew of electric horn driven hit records for a number of labels. Here we have 27 of his amazing and seldom-heard rockin' Chicago sides. Time we think to reconsider Big Bill! Wonderfully mastered in true Rev-Ola style and with beautiful packaging and rare memorabilia and in-depth notes by the wonderful Mr. Dave Penny esq.
