Barrelhouse Blues & Boogie Woogie Vol. 2

On the CD you’ll hear not only those that stayed in Europe, Champion Jack Dupree. Memphis Slim and Eddie Boyd, but also the touring piano players such as Little Brother Montgomery, Speckled Red and Sunnylanci Slim giving you their best in a mix of Barrelhouse, Blues it Boogie Woogie TT – 64:53. (The much acclaimed vol. 1 is on STCD 8030).
