Blues Before Sunrise by Leroy Carr - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

Despite minimal sound quality, this reissue contains some prime Leroy Carr/Scrapper Blackwell material. They were arguably the greatest piano and guitar duo to emerge in the late '20s and early '30s. You can find these tracks on other import collections, but this was among the first reissues available on a domestic label. ~ Ron Wynn
