Box Of Blues

• Track Listing

Fans of the late Chicago legend they called the Godfather of the Blues are gonna need this! Housed in a custom-made wood cigar box, these 6 CDs combine studio cuts from ’53 (Junior’s first sessions) to ’79 with previously unreleased live recordings from 1983–97. His studio versions of "Little by Little," "Come On in This House," "Messin’ with the Kid," "I Need Me a Car," "Two Headed Woman," "Better Cut That Out," "Blues Hit Big Town," "Please Throw This Poor Dog a Bone," "Stop Breaking Down," "Mystery Train," "Juke," "Goin’ Down Slow" and "Key to the Highway" join live recordings from ’83 in Philly ("Trouble No More," "What My Momma Told Me"), from ’87 in the Netherlands ("Driving Wheel," "Who’s Making Love"), from ’94 in Rochester ("Broke and Hungry," "Little Red Rooster"), from ’95 in Boulder ("Help Me"), from ’97 in Osaka ("You Gotta Love Her with a Feeling," "Sweet Sixteen") and more. Not only do you also get a 48-page booklet with Dave Thompson liner notes and rare photos, but you even get a working mini-harmonica—or, as Junior would call it, a Mississippi saxophone! Cleopatra.
