More Info:

Joe Liggins was one of the top rhythm and blues performers of the immediate post war years. He enjoyed 13 Billboard R&B Chart hits between 1945 and 1951 at which point it was all over for him as a chart star but as this 27 track compilation illustrates he could still turn out great sounding records and was a popular live performer as well. Hits include: "I've Got A Right To Cry"; "Tanya"; "Blow Mr Jackson" and of course the two undeniable classics of r&b music, "The Honeydripper" and "Pink Champagne". This is a must for fans of classic blues music and especially blues piano players such as Pinetop Perkins.
