Description
180-gram VIRGIN VINYL LIMITED EDITION. The Complete Album + 2 Bonus Tracks.
New Orleans-born Lonnie Johnson was one of the most musically sophisticated blues guitarists of all time. He set a standard that later blues performers strived to match. His legacy is immense, and not only in the blues field. Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, LaVern Baker, Bob Dylan and countless others have recorded his songs. Lonnie left an indelible mark on modern American music.
As happened with other bluesmen of his generation, Lonnie Johnson's musical career declined in the 1950s, reducing him to taking jobs as a cook or a janitor. Blues & Balladsis one of the albums that marked his comeback.
"A must for fans of the underrated bluesman." - AllMusic, 5 STARS
"One of the most charming and affecting blues singers. This collection is pure pleasure." - Down Beat, 4.5 STARS
