Description
For auction is this truly fantastic and very hard to find recording of the legendary T Bone Walker. This is an original pressing on Imperial (LP 9116) from 1960 in NM to MINT condition !!!!!! and therefore a unique opportunity to add it to any serious vinyl collection!
T-Bone Walker was one of the first Blues musicians to experiment with the electric guitar, and between 1935 and 1936, T-Bone Walker was using a prototype of the electric guitar. T-Bone established his reputation as the 'Father of Electric Blues', and his hits were played on Top 10 radio nationwide. During this time, T-Bone toured on a triple-header Blues package with Lowell Fulson and a rotating cast of other Blues artists that included Ray Charles, Jimmy Witherspoon, Wynonie Harris, and Big Joe Turner. In 1950, T-Bone left Capitol and went to Imperial Records. In 1960 he sang with Count Basie. T-Bone loved Count Basie's band, and said he would have "paid my own salary just to hear those Basie cats blow". T-Bone Walker was inducted into the Blues Foundation's Hall of Fame (1980) and the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
