LIGHTNIN' SLIM - ROOSTER BLUES NEW CD

INCLUDES 12 BONUS TRACKSThis essential CD presents Lightnin’ Slim’s fi nest album, Rooster Blues. It was originally released in 1960 by the legendary Excello label. The original LP edition is a very coveted item among collectors, for which substantial amounts of money are paid. With the great Lazy Lester or label mate Slim Harpo on harmonica for the majority of the tracks here, the stripped-down approach to Lightnin’ Slim’s brand of blues casts these sides in a decidedly front-porch ambience.In addition to the original masterpiece, this remastered collector’s edition also contains 12 bonus tracks, consisting of hard-to-fi nd sides released by Excello during the same period. This set offers listeners the opportunity to hear many of the finest tunes by one of the blues genre’s most important yet unsung heroes.PERSONNEL:LIGHTNIN’ SLIM, lead vocals and electric guitar, plus:Lazy Lester, Slim Harpo (harmonica), Guitar Gable (guitar),Tal Miller (piano), Kenneth “Sam” Sample, Clarence “Jockey” Etienne(drums)Monroe Vincent (percussion).Recorded in Crowley, Louisiana, 1955-1959.INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLETTRACKS:01 ROOSTER BLUES02 LONG LEANIE MAMA03 MY STARTER WON’T WORK04 “G.I.” SLIM05 LIGHTNIN’S TROUBLES06 BED BUG BLUES07 HOO-DOO BLUES08 IT’S MIGHTY CRAZY09 SWEET LITTLE WOMAN10 TOM CAT BLUES11 FEELIN’ AWFUL BLUES12 I’M LEAVIN’ YOU BABYBONUS TRACKS13 I’M A ROLLIN’ STONE14 HELLO MARY LEE15 JUST MADE TWENTY-ONE16 SUGAR PLUM17 WONDERIN’ AND GOIN’18 GOIN’ HOME19 BAD LUCK AND TROUBLE20 HAVE YOUR WAY21 I’M WARNING YOU BABY22 MEAN OLE LONESOME TRAIN23 MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS24 LOVE ME MAMA
