Blue Monday You Say! OK! I'll Play

Posted over 2 years ago


John Littlejohn was bluesman in the Chicago style. He was a fixture in the windy city for decades, but recorded only sparsely. He made his first records in 1968...NOT a good year for the blues. He recorded a full length album for Arhoolie records & a reported four songs for Chess. The Chess sides were never released in Littlejohn's lifetime....only seeing the light of day on this Chess compilation from 1998. He recorded a second album , So Called Friends, in 1985, shortly befor his death.

    Quite nice. Just don't try to foist Bobby Vinton's "Blue Velvet" off on us.
