A great jazz blues compilation on Savoy.
Just a beautiful cover photo and illustration on this one of four volumes “The Bessie Smith Story” on Phillips.

The Butterfield Blues Band “East-West” (1966) Elektra Records. Featuring Paul Butterfield (Harmonica) and Mike Bloomfield who had just came off of Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” sessions.
Ian Taylor sent this in and is looking for anyone who can shed light on where the cover photo was taken. Anyone know?
This is a great, hard-to-find John Lee Hooker lp recorded in 1971 and released in 1973 on ABC. “Going Down” features rockers Van Morrison and Elvin Bishop, while the other numbers include great r&b and jazz session guys like John Klemmer, Cliff Coulter, Mel Brown, Don “sugarcane” Harris, etc. But the highlight for me is a the first song on the second side - “Younger Stud”.
The cover photo is by Al Kramer and designed by Ruby Mazur.
All I wore in the early 1970’s were high-top Converse like these.
