This cd from the 'In Session' series features talented pianist Eddie Ware. He appeared briefly in the early 1950's either recording on his own or backing up a few other Chicago artists. He was mainstay in the piano seat for the early Jimmy Rogers Chess recordings until Uncle Sam required his services. Chess allowed him one session of his own from which yielded the minor hit 'Lima Beans'.
After this he moved to Mercury records where he backed up vocalist Ray Snead, all these releases are featured together for the first time on CD including 'I'm a Good Rocking Baby'. He had another Chess session later backing Arbee Stidham with two titles being issued. His last outing was for States records again with only two titles appearing. He then just disappeared from the recording scene but was rumoured to still be in Chicago until he died in 1978. This CD features almost all, if not all of his appearances on record..............
