Jimmy's Blues 1945-1951

Jimmy McCracklin has now been making records for well over 50 years. This selection of 25 of his very earliest recordings represent his artistic development from his first attempts to emulate the piano blues of Walter Davis through his rocking jump bands of the early fifties. Many of these early recordings are credited to Jimmy McCracklin and His Blues Blasters and that’s just what this CD offers – Blasting Blues!
