Title: Influential New Orleans Bluesman
Review: Eddie "Guitar Slim" Jones is probably the most influential New Orleans blues artists ever. This generous anthology collects 26 tracks from his 1953-56 tenure at Specialty (before leaving for Atco). The album kicks off with his 1953 No. 1 "The Things I Used To Do" and hits all the highlights from the period, including "Story of My Life," "Sufferin' Mind" and "Something To Remember You By." [Note: The 1953 recordings (tracks 1-4) include Ray Charles as pianist and arranger.] If you're going to own only one Guitar Slim album, this is the one to get. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
