Finally a complete compilation of Billy Boy Arnold's early days as a top Chicago harmonica player. Including his debut for the tiny Cool label and his sessions with his friend Bo Diddley and his own recordings for Vee Jay records. Classic recordings which would go on to be influential over the British and European blues boom in the 1960s. 'Don't Stay Out All Night' was a fixture of the early Rolling Stones playlists whilst 'I Wish You Would' became a hit for The Yardbirds with Eric Clapton. 'I Ain't Got You' and 'Rockin' Itis' were also popular with blues groups around the world. These recordings have been unavailable on cd for over a decade & this welcome release covers it nicely...............
