Product Information
Although perhaps not as familiar a name to the average buyer as, say, B.B. King or John Lee Hooker, Lowell Fulson (1921-1999) was a substantial figure in the world of blues and, to some extent, soul music.
His 50 plus year recording career included such milestones as helping to launch a then unknown Ray Charles on the road to success, giving B.B. King one of his first major hits ("Three O'Clock Blues", Fulson's original included here), penning a major R&B hit in the mid '50s - "Reconsider Baby" - that would become a 'standard' recorded by all and sundry, including Elvis Presley, and originating a '60s soul/blues song that was also a hit for Joe Tex and Otis Redding with Carla Thomas.
As American writer Bill Dahl has commented, "Few bluesmen managed to remain contemporary the way Lowell Fulson did for more than five decades. And fewer still will make such a massive contribution to the idiom".
This handsome anthology, annotated by blues expert Neil Slaven, presents 113 tracks from the period when Fulson first emerged as a big name on the 'chitlin' circuit, including all of his early hits such as "Three O'Clock Blues", "Everyday I Have The Blues", "Blue Shadows", "Low Society Blues", "Sinner's Prayer" and "Lonesome Christmas"
