About this album

A sharp, concise introduction to Eddie “Guitar Slim” Jones’s raw, influential blues-R&B. Built around the 1954 hit “The Things That I Used To Do”, this compilation shows why his electrified, unrestrained guitar style became a touchstone for later rock and blues players. Guitar Slim’s flamboyant attack and hard-edged emotional delivery helped bridge post-war rhythm and blues with the emerging sound of electric blues guitar. The set draws together key sides that underline his brief but lasting legacy, making plain how one extraordinary voice could shape the language of modern blues.
