FENTON ROBINSON "The Mellow Blues Genius"

This CD, issued on the Japanese label, P-Vine, in 1988, brings together some of the singles Fenton Robinson recorded for tiny labels such as Giant or Palos from 1967 to 1974 and unreleased tracks from the same era. Some of these tracks are true masterpieces : the original version of Somebody loan me a dime and 7-11 blues, a cover of Mercy D. Walton's One room country shack, Nothing but a fool... It is the only source for the pre-Alligator era classic recordings and as such deserves to be sought after, although a proper reissue of ALL the singles (including the Duke recordings) is obviously needed.
