Description
Deluxe 6-panel Digipak with comprehensive booklet and updated liner notes. A leading figure in the Detroit blues scene of the '50s and early '60s, Robert "Baby Boy" Warren was a marvellous electric guitarist, singer and songwriter. Though his work remains off the music radar, Warren's sense of song structure owes a strong debt to Robert Johnson and his lyrics are full of wry humour and mordant wit. From the first to the last of Baby Boy's recordings, the infectious rhythms are interjected with sharp lead guitar and resounding vocals. This remastered collector's CD release contains all of the hard-to-find 7" and 10" sides Baby Boy made for several different labels at the peak of his career (such as Excello, Gotham, Federal, Staff, Swing Time, and J-V-B, among other imprints). Warren's music and charismatic personality breathed life into Detroit's superb but often-overlooked blues scene. "Next to the early work of JOHN LEE HOOKER and a stray anthology, this is Detroit blues at its finest." â€“ Cub Koda ROBERT "BABY BOY" WARREN vocals and electric guitar, plus: Sonny Boy Williamson (harmonica), Calvin Frazier, Little George Jackson (guitar), Milt Hinton (bass), Boogie Woogie Red (piano), Curtis Foster (drums), Washboard Willie (washboard), Johnny Hooks (tenor sax), among others. Recorded in Detroit, Michigan, USA.
