Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson

KIDNEY STEW IS FINE

Delmark   1993

Notes: "The occasion here is the only time that Vinson, McShann and T-Bone Walker appear together on record.  Would that it could have happened more frequently!  Another southwesterner , Oklahoma-born Hal Singer is on tenor, but he is given relatively little to do.  Vinson did not like what he called "a lot of music" behind his vocals."

Recorded in France by the Black and Blue Label.

Notes: "While rightly considered the true father of modern blues, Walker's career as a Blues performer was far more broadly comprehensive than just that--as if that alone were not enough--encompassing virtually every major development in black folk-based popular music of the 20th century."
