| J.B. Lenoir (a.k.a. J.B. Lenore) was an outstanding blues singer and songwriter whose high-pitched singing was earnest, arresting, and instantly recognizable, its impact is compounded by the memorable songs that he penned. This collection of his singles for the Parrot label includes his big hit “Mama, Talk to Your Daughter” which contains a hilarious, minimalist guitar solo (which was inexplicably edited out of some pressings of the 45), his celebrated "Einsenhower Blues," "I'm in Korea," and 9 other great tunes. These sessions date from 1954-’55, after Lenoir had recorded for Chess and J.O.B., and prior to his singles for Checker and Vee-Jay. |
