Featured here are six of the biggest artists from Chicago's legendary Parrot label; Chess Records major competitor in the 1950's when it came to urban blues. Little Papa Joe was the recording name of string bending guitarist Jody Williams who is joined on his selections by Willie Dixon on bass, Lafayette Leake on piano, Phil Thomas on drums and Harold Ashby on tenor sax. Guitarist L.C. McKinley backed Eddie Boyd in the early fifties, his first session as a leader from 1953 is included here featuring the amazing Lorenzo Tucker on sax. Veteran pianist Curtis Jones has support from McKinley and Tucker on his two classic tracks. St. Louis Jimmy was the oldest blues artist to record for Parrot - included among his selections is "Goin' Down Slow," the song he made famous earlier in 1941. Singer Jo Jo Adams was one of Chicago's best known nightclub entertainers during the 1950's and is featured on two tracks. Finally, we have three tracks from Nature Boy Brown, better known as J.T. Brown, the tenor sax man who traveled with the infamous Rabbit Foot Minstrels, a sought after session man who worked behind such luminaries as Roosevelt Sykes and Elmore James. A wonderful compilation of rare, mid-fifties era Chicago blues at it's finest. All selections newly remastered.
