Freddie Robbinson  “The Coming Atlantis”  With Orchestration by Monk Higgins.  World Pacific Records.  Freddie cut his teeth with Little Walter and Howlin’ Wolf on classic Chess recordings such as “Spoonful” and “Mean Ol’ Frisco” in the late fifties and early sixties before taking the spotlight on this, his first album as a leader in 1968.  This Lp was later reissued with the title “Black Fox”, one of the cuts included and heard here.

John Lee Hooker Plays and Sings the Blues  Chess LP 1454.  Early fifties recordings (When Hook was a younger stud) compiled and released by Chess in 1961.  Personnel: John Lee Hooker vocals; guitar.  (Eddie Kirkland guitar on “Just Me and My Telephone”.)  Studs Terkel writes the liner notes.  Another cool cover photo by Chess house photog Don Bronstein.  This is back porch music from the heart of the Delta.  “Although he often reworked themes by earlier bluesmen during this period, it was rare that Hooker outright covered another artist’s material. So his riveting interpretations of Muddy Waters’s ‘Please Don’t Go’ and Big Maceo Merriweather’s ‘Worried Life Blues’ peak this collection”
