The elusive Chicago harpist's one and only full-length album, originally issued on Steve Wisner's short-lived Mr. Blues logo and later picked up by Rooster Blues (but not available on CD as yet). Cut in 1975, this set shows that Charles never left the 1950s stylistically -- backed by a nails-tough combo, he pays tribute to both Sonny Boys and his ex-boss Jimmy Rogers while betraying more than a hint of Little Walter influence. (Bill Dahl, Allmusic)

Wonderful traditional Chicago blues by a very good singer and harp player who, despite playing for years in the Chicago blues, enjoyed a little share of the spotlight only just before his death. This excellent album has long been very hard to find and is well worth hearing. Thanks
I can't recommend highly enough the great & hard to find blues on these two excellent blogs!
