Good Scuffler Blues – Sideman Blues Part II:
A few months back I did a show called 'Sideman Blues' where we shined the light on some superb session musicians who backed blues artists in the pre-war era. On today's sequel to that show we focus on some of the stars of the pre-war blues era who were also active session artists. Artists featured today include some of the era's big names such as Lonnie Johnson, Tampa Red, Roosevelt Sykes, Kokomo Arnold, Sonny Boy Williamson I and others who were also very active backing others on record. Bluesmen such as Big Bill, Tampa Red, Lonnie Johnson and Roosevelt Sykes in particular, backed dozens of artists, both well known and obscure on record.
Bonus Tracks: Big Bill Broonzy - At The Break of Day, Lucille Bogan - Jim Tampa Blues
