Good Time Tonight
Broonzy's unflagging gift for felicitous storytelling-purveyed by a sure and steady voice and facile guitar technique-made him one of the notable talents in his adopted home of Chicago throughout the period covered by this twenty-song compilation, 193~40. These ensemble performances, most lost till now, benefit supremely from Columbia's state-of-the-art methods of sound restoration. Note: This set is a fine companion volume to the Yazoo compilations, as most of the material postdates those discs.-- © Frank John Hadley 1993--From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
