Fine country blues

Bill Broonzy gets small mention in blues histories, but he was, in his day, a very popular and versatile blues performer. This record features early recordings of Broonzy on his own, and with piano and other vocalists. Highlights include an emotional and contemplative pair of solos: "Worryin' You Off My Mind" (a permutation of the popular 'Sitting on Top of the World') and "Big Bill Blues." The guitar duet "Do That Guitar Rag" is a flashy instrumental, while "Pussy Cat Blues" (sung by a female vocalist) has Broonzy filling in around a piano and the deliciously bawdy lyrics. All in all, a fine collection of a talented artist finding his voice.
