Title: Mississippi Sheiks - South Side Blues tracks
Post by: uncle bud on May 11, 2011, 10:42:08 AM: Some time ago, I got three tracks off the album Chicago: The Living Legends - South Side Blues. This Riverside release is under Mama Yancey and Little Brother Montgomery's names, with three tunes by a band going by the name of the Mississippi Sheiks. Sounds like piano, guitar, bass, drums. Walter Vinson is singing. Since these were emusic tracks, I have no notes of course. Does anyone know the personnel on these three 1960s-era Sheiks tracks?

Any other info out there?
