Discovered in his early 20s as a street busker in New Orleans, Eaglin went on to have a small but interesting career recording his first tracks with Louisiana's folklorist, Dr. Harry Oster. These initial recordings are featured on Disc 1 whilst the second disc covers his hard to find blues and R&B recordings for the IMPERIAL label. He went on to make a series of fiery recordings for the BLACKTOP label in the later years of his career which stand as a testament to his individual creativity............
