Original Ramblin' Bluesman 2CD

Big Joe Williams
Original Ramblin' Bluesman 1945-1961 2CD

Big Joe Williams was the epitome of the rambling, wandering itinerant bluesman so romanticised in the early days of blues discovery and record collecting.
He rambled across the United States from coast to coast in the 1920s and ‘30s.
This 2CD collection features many of his most famous recordings from the post war years.
His most famous composition was Baby Please Don’t Go, much covered and eventually a major hit for Them in the UK and Ted Nugent in America.
The really exciting attraction of this double disc collection is the CD debut of the 8 tracks he recorded with Chicago pianist Erwin Helfer in 1957.
These 8 tracks only ever previously appeared on two very rare UK EPs.
