This is a rare and deleted album from P-Vine. If anyone has the cover art for this album, please share - I only own the CD with no notes or cover. I can find no info about it on the internet! - Gyro1966
Born in Bessemer, Alabama, United States, Minter lost his parents early in life; His mother died of pneumonia shortly after his birth, and his father was lynched by the Ku Klux Klan when he was five. He was brought up by a series of relatives in various towns and cities. Red recorded for Chess in 1949, before joining the Army. After leaving the Army, he spent two years in the late 1950s playing with John Lee Hooker in Detroit. He recorded for Checker Records in 1952, billed as Rocky Fuller.
His first album, Lowdown Back Porch Blues, was recorded in New York with Tommy Tucker and released in 1963, with second album Seventh Son released later the same year. Louisiana Red released the single "I'm Too Poor To Die" for the Glover label in 1964. It peaked at number 117 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 30 on the Cashbox chart. Billboard did not print a standard R&B chart during 1964.
He maintained a busy recording and performing schedule through the 1960s and 1970s, having done sessions for Chess, Checker, Atlas, Glover, Roulette, L&R and Tomato amongst others. (Allmusic)

Finally I have found - thanks to the titles of the album and the overall sound - where these tracks come from. In fact, the cover you have put is quite right because all the tracks herein comme from the same lengthy 1965 New York sessions that Red recorded for Atlantic and most of it featured here were unissued until P-Vine took the job. The personnel is: Louisiana Red, vcl/g/hca; Tommy Tucker, pno; Bill Dicey, hca; Napoleon Allen, g; Leonard Gaskin or James Brooks, bs; Earl Williams, dms.
Thanks for these very rare sides.
Thanks Gerard for the very helpful information, I will write down the dates. Thanks RYP for the improved cover art.
When I click on the Zippyshare Download button, I get a message that says "The requested resource (/v/51233807/nulldownload) is not available." Has anyone had this problem or is it just me? Thanks.
I got see Red live in Detroit in the late '90s. It was a Solo gig at the Attic Bar in Hamtramck arranged by Detroit Blues Society with a mostly white, suburban audience in attendance. Red performed Sweetblood Call and the audience laughed at the lines "I'll have a hard time missing you baby, with my pistol in your mouth." I felt ashamed to be a suburban white guy. I talked to Red and Eddie Burns after the show, Red refused to talk about the audience's reaction to that song, but he appeared to be pretty angry about it.
this is a great album ! but link is already dead; can you re-up please ?
I've no problem with the download!
link's dead for me too,
shame to read about the laughter & disrespect at the gig.
i read Miles Davis's autobiography and he cites a gig at which the entire audience talks and laughs through his whole set..
sad world really
Links Dead please reup thanks
Link not work
It works fine for me right now. But I'm having sporadic problems with Zippyshare tonight. Maybe this crazy Frankenstorm Sandy is affecting it?
