I love Little Johnny Taylor ! He's got one foot in blues and the other in soul. The first track reminds me of Snooks Eaglin Imperial sides.
Thanks for all this wonferful sides !
Great point, Nicolas L! I'd never made the Snooks Eaglin link before, but you're spot on. Just wanted to shout my admiration for Little Johnny too, especially his later LPs Open House At My House and Everybody Knows About My Good Thing, (apparently he trouble finding faithful women). W.
That old LJT got some hot! Great blog, thanks!
Fantastic tracks, and I'm not even a blues man.
