Product Information
The lustrous Chicago blues scene of the 1950s was predominated by great pianists, and Henry Gray was one of the finest. His rolling twofisted keyboard work graced countless Chicago blues recordings during the '50s, and Henry spent twelve years as pianist for the legendary Howlin' Wolf. This session, recorded in 1988, marked something of a comeback for Henry who had recorded only sporadically in the previous two decades. Long out of print on LP, Blind Pig is proud to issue these classic sides by a true blues master ...
Rezensionen
,,Die Neuauflage kann heute noch begeistern, Grays Versionen von “My Girl Josephine”, “Mojo Boogie” oder “Boogie In The Dark” reißen immer noch mit. Und auch seine eigenen Kompositionen (immerhin sechs an der Zahl), herausragend der Slow Blues “Cold Chills”!) lassen unwillkürlich mitwippen, wozu Muddy Waters’ Rhythmiker Bob Stroger (b) und Willie Smith (dr) maßgeblich beitrugen." (Good Times, Oktober / November 2011)
