NotesHi Horse Records is proud to present the first in a projected series of unreleased tracks from the same sources: Blue 88s is an amazing collection of piano blues recorded between 1938-1942 for the Columbia and Okeh labels. 15 of the 17 tracks are previously unreleased gems that showcase some of the premier blues pianists and vocalists of the era: Curtis Jones, Roosevelt Sykes, Willie "Boodle It" Right and Poor Boy Burke. Includes a 20 page booklet with a detailed essay by Mark Humphrey on the history and popularity of the piano, and blues pianists in particular, plus the lyrics to all the songs. The legendary Roosevelt Sykes a.k.a. "The Honeydripper" is represented on this compilation with 12 tracks, 10 of them previously unissued while Curtis Jones and Poor Boy Burke have 2 each while Willie "Boodle It" Right has 1. Nimble fingers, knowing voices and earthy lyrics abound on this collection. 25th Annual Living Blues Awards Winners:Best Blues Albums of 2017Historical (Pre-war)Various Artists - Blue 88s: Unreleased Piano Blues Gems 1938-1942 - Hi Horse RecordsProducer of the Year (Historical Recording)Robin Cohn and Larry CohnVarious Artists - Blue 88s: Unreleased Piano Blues Gems 1938-1942 - Hi Horse Records "Blues is to music what salt is to food" - Roosevelt Sykes
