Just got his terrific CD in the mail: Henry Brown - Henry Brown Blues. Originally recorded by Paul Oliver in 1960 and issued on the 77 Label (http://www.wirz.de/music/77frm.htm) and reissued on Southland. Here's the track list:
- Henry Brown Blues
- Got It And Cain't Quit It
- Bottled In Bond
- Blues For Charlie O'Brien
- Deep Morgan Is Delmar Now
- Henry Brown Boogie
- O'Fallon Blues
- My Blues Is In The Bottle
- Papa Slick Head
- Handyman Blues
- Scufflin' Boogie
-Henry Brown's Talking Blues
The last track, not on the LP, is nearly nine minutes of Brown's off-the-cuff reminiscing on the St. Louis scene of his youth underpinned by some superb playing. Notes are identical to the LP with an additional photo of Brown playing at Pinkey Boxx's Beauty Parlor in St. Louis.
