Memphis Slim / Sonny Boy Williamson / Matt Murphy
Reissued 1963 Blues Festival (RSD Exclusive)
Description
These incredible blues recordings celebrate their 60th anniversary. Recorded live at the Blues Festival in Oberhausen, West Germany 1963, this is the first vinyl reissue since it's original pressing on the UK blues label Red Lightnin' in 1986. These 11 songs feature Memphis Slim and Sonny Boy Williamson backed by Matt "Guitar" Murphy (the original blues brother). They are also joined by bassist Willie Dixon and drummer Bill Stepney. This particular show is rare, and captures some truly smoking performances, particularly Memphis Slim's rarely-heard "I Wrote This Song", and Sonny Boy Williamson's "All My Love In Vain'. This record has been remastered and pressed on heavyweight opaque blue vinyl.
Record Store Day titles are strictly limited and non-returnable.
