These are
Lenoir's earliest sides in a very stripped down setting compared to the Parrot and Chess sides. Over half of the 14 sides feature
Lenoir on guitar with only Sunnyland Slim on piano and Alfred Wallace on drums in support, with
J.T. Brown on tenor sax aboard for the next session. They all suffer from a curiously muffled sound, but early delights like "The Mojo (Boogie)" and "Let's Roll" make all audio points mute. This CD also includes seven tracks fronted by
Sunnyland Slim recorded the same day with
Lenoir in a supporting role.
