Description:

Recorded in Chicago, Illinois between 1928 & 1932. Includes liner notes by Mike Rowe. Personnel: J. Mayo Williams, Pinetop Smith (vocals, piano); J.H. Shayne, Charles Avery (piano). Liner Note Author: Mike Rowe. Recording information: 1928-1932. Boogie Woogie & Barrelhouse Piano, Vol. 1 (1928-1932) contains a selection of material from the classic early blues pianists Pine Top Smith, Charles Avery, Freddie Nicholson and Jabo Williams. For specialists and academics, there is some very interesting music here -- Pine Top Smith`s tracks are pretty terrific -- but most casual listeners will find that the exacting chronological sequencing, poor fidelity (all cuts are transferred from original acetates and 78s) and similar-sounding performances make this collection of marginal interest. ~ Thom Owens
