More Blues on the South Side (1963)

Studio Recordings @320 

{Out of Print}

More Blues On The South Side was recorded in Chicago on December 30, 1963. The disc features the vocals and harp of a very young Billy Boy Arnold and some interesting guitar work by an equally young Mighty Joe Young. While the recording is 40 years old, I must say that the recording is remarkably clean from a technical perspective. The music contained on the disc is probably typical of that played in Chicago in the early 60's and is somewhat reminiscent of Bo Diddley or even a young Junior Wells. While there are some interesting moments on the disc, it is clear that this is a guy that got better, much better, with age.
