1981 Italian reissue of an LP originally released as Chess
LP 410 in 1970.
J.B. Lenoir – guitarist, possessor of a distinctive high
pitched voice and wearer of a stylish zebra striped tailcoat. He recorded for Chicago
labels JOB , Parrot, Chance and Checker, his
biggest hit being “Mama Talk To Your Daughter” on Parrot 809 in 1955.
I picked up this LP second hand in the vinyl basement of
Missing Records, under The Hielanman’s Umbrella. If you’re not from Glasgow
you won’t have a clue what that is. This collection has been on my WMP playlist
for a while now. I wasn’t overly impressed at first, but it’s grown on me. It
is most definitely worth your while downloading this, oh fellow blues fans.

Great, Woody, to see these Chess Vintage series LPs making the rounds again howbeit in their "import" incarnations (U.S. perspective). I remember clearly in the late 60s/early 70s when these started to appear and snapping up all the known quantities like Muddy, Wolf, Sonny Boy et al, and foolishly avoiding such as J. B. Lenoir. No matter, J. B. sounds pretty good these days. Thanks for putting these out there. . . .
