Shines toured with Robert Johnson in the ’30s before recording his first sides in ’46 for Columbia and again for Chess in 1950. He’d be rediscovered and cherished decades later; here he is, largely unaccompanied, in ’73 at Washington University’s Graham Chapel in St. Louis. It’s previously unissued and is a precious window into the blues past: "Tell Me Mama," "Ramblin’," "Happy Home," "Cold in Hand Blues," "Sweet Home Chicago," "Goodbye Boogie"…20 tracks! Omnivore.
