A second helping of original New Orleans Rhythm & Blues and Rock 'n' Roll. The first 12 tracks here were released 30 years ago as the vinyl volume 2 LP in this series. For this CD reissue, a further dozen prime sides have been added making a killer 24 track collection, which is remastered and sounds better than ever. Most of this material has been incredibly difficult to find on CD, and some tracks have never been released on CD at all. The accompanying booklet includes detailed liner-notes and label shots, and this great collection maintains the high standard of the first volume, but still leaves plenty more delights in store for future releases. Featured artists include Junior Gordon, Lightnin' Hopkins, Mercy Baby, Frankie Ford, Eddie Bo, Bobby Marchan, The Blue Dots, Gene & Al's Spacemen, Little Shelton, Joe Dyson, Charles Brown, Amos Milburn, Jimmy Clanton, Huey Piano Smith and many others.
