LONNIE JOHNSON — Complete Recorded Works 1925-1932 In Chronological Order • Volume 2 : 1926-1927 | DOCD-5064 (1991) FLAC (image+.cue), lossless

Lonnie Johnson came into his own during the period of time covered by this CD. A brilliant blues-oriented guitarist, Johnson is heard on such instrumentals as "To Do This, You Got to Know How," "I Done Tole You," "Steppin' on the Blues," "Four Hands Are Better Than Two," and "Woke Up With the Blues in My Fingers." He is also heard backing blues singers Helen Humes (who was 13 at the time), Joe Brown, and Raymond Boyd and singing his own variety of low-down blues. Recommended.  Scott Yanow
