Description
43 classic recordings from one of New Orleans greatest performers. Not quite the complete singles As &Bs' 1955- 1962 of Eddie Bo. However it's still probably the most detailed overview of his career via singles that there has ever been.
His first major success was "I'm Wise" which Little Richard renamed "Slippin' & Slidin'" and made it into a rock and roll classic. Eddie's recordings stand up and still sound fantastic up to 60 years after they were recorded.
Other notable tracks include "Check Mr. Popeye" the first major recording devoted to the New Orleans invented dance craze the Popeye.
This is an essential addition to any collection of New Orleans R&B.
