This 51 track collection is nowhere near Johnny Fuller's complete recorded work but serves as an excellent introduction to one of the unsung heroes of the blues. His acid toned guitar and menacing lyrics were a mainstay of his recordings and this collection features most of the early sides....many of which have never been reissued. This cd includes the original version of 'Haunted House' which went on to become a rock and roll standard........
