Worried Life Blues

14 of Big Maceo Merriweather’s classic recordings. Archetypical Chicago blues, mostly accompanied by the equally famous guitarist Tampa Red. The tragically short life of this hugely influential Blues pianist produced a limited volume of work under his own name which continues on Vol 2 (FABCD172) . He was also a prolific session performer and enjoyed huge success in 1941 with his original hit version of “Worried Life Blues”, which became a blues standard almost overnight. Tracks include “Worried Life Blues”, ”Texas Blues”, ”Anytime For You”, ”I Got The Blues” and ”So Long Baby”.
