This album of vintage J. B. Lenoir material should be something for devotees of Chicago blues everywhere to celebrate and enjoy. He gave expression through his music and songwriting to the aspirations and everyday predicaments of the common man, though with an uncommon voice and talent in his case. J. B. is rightly still renowned as the most topical modern Chicago blues man. The sessions presented here were recorded in 1954 and '55 at Universal Studios in Chicago. Four singles were issued, of which two, cemented J. B.'s fame. "Mama Talk to Your Daughter" was an infectious, accessible and popular boogie piece, which has become synonymous with it's creator. Much more controversial was "Eisenhower Blues," of which two takes are included on this wonderful collection. All selections newly remastered.
