Jimmy Witherspoon - Spoon's Life

180-gram vinyl

Remastered by Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London

Recorded at Studio Davout, Paris on October 27th 1980. A beautifully recorded session of top quality blues performed by masters of their art. On paper it may look like a slightly odd coupling of a KC shouter with a Chicago blues band. The results confirm that Jimmy Witherspoon is a blues singer full of passion and throughout this session all the musicians compliment each other admirably. A beautiful slab of music.

Musicians:
Jimmy Witherspoon, vocals
George Smith, harmonica
Johnny Dollar, guitar
Sammy Lawhorn, guitar
Nick Charles, bass guitar
Roosevelt "Snake" Shaw, drums
