Pee Wee Crayton - Pee Wee Crayton (1960 Debut Album) [New CD] Bonus Tracks, With

INCLUDES 15 BONUS TRACKSThis essential CD contains the bluesman’s eponymous first long play, "Pee Wee Crayton", in its entirety. Originally issued in 1960 by Modern Records’ subsidiary Crown label, it has been long unavailable on CD. The album includes previous Modern recordings, some of them dating back to 1948. Featured here is a magnificent mix of emotional blues, jump tunes, electrifying boogies, and soulful ballads. Among the highlights you can find the opener “Texas Hop” – a jumpin’ instrumental with a rockin’ guitar solo and wailing sax, and the instrumental smash “Blues After Hours,” as well as great vocal numbers such as “California Women,” “Tired of Travelin’” and “My Everything,” among others.In addition to the original album, this collector’s release presents 15 bonus tracks (featuring a variety of those great, hard to find sides issued by the Modern label between 1948 and 1952), including one of Crayton’s biggest hits, the sumptuous “I Love You So,” and the electrifying “Poppa Stoppa,” a guitar instrumental with exhilarating staccato picks on the high end of the neck. This set provides ample proof of Crayton’s stature as a significant bluesman, and an important exponent in the transition from the earliest electric blues to a harder R&B style.PEE WEE CRAYTON, guitar and vocals, plus:Bill Davis (bass), David Lee Johnson (piano),Candy Johnson, Al “Cake” Wichard (drums),Buddy Floyd (tenor saxophone),among others.Recorded in Los Angeles, between 1948 and 1952.INCLUDES 16-PAGE BOOKLETTRACKS:01.
