The label may not be so readily associated with hard-core blues but it recorded plenty of choice items, as this selection from the first decade or so of the company's existence demonstrates. Here are plenty of blues heavy hitters - Big Joe Turner, Ray Charles, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker and more - mixed with others who are much less well known. The star of the CD is Little Johnny Jones, a hugely talented pianist in the style of Big Maceo Merriweather who died much too young.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Hoy Hoy [Alternate Take] - Johnny Jones \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Up the Line (Doin' the Best I Can) - Johnny Jones \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Chicago Blues - Johnny Jones \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Wait Baby - Johnny Jones \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Hoy Hoy - Johnny Jones \u003cbr\u003e1.6 TV Mama - Joe Turner ; His Blues Kings \u003cbr\u003e1.7 T-Bone Shuffle - T-Bone Walker \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Play on Little Girl - T-Bone Walker \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Bad Blood - Champion Jack Dupree \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Junker's Blues - Champion Jack Dupree \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Bit of Soul - Ray Charles \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Losing Hand - Ray Charles \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Sinner's Prayer - Ray Charles \u003cbr\u003e1.14 After Hour Session \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Climbin' Up to Heaven Blues, Pt. 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Cold Love \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Messin' Up - Chuck Norris \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Let Me Know - Chuck Norris \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Guitar Lovin' Man (Lovin' Guitar Man) - John Lee Hooker \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Real Real Gone - John Lee Hooker \u003cbr\u003e1.21 She's a W-O-M-A-N \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Blue Harlem - Tiny Grimes \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Draggin' Hours - Jesse Stone Orchestra \u003cbr\u003e1.24 Break of Day Blues \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Drinkin' Wine, Spo-Dee-O-Dee - Larry Dale\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32451804463175,"sku":"08230089","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/459054.jpg?v=1747319950","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/various-artists-messing-with-the-blues","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
