 Notes  
     A full half-century from when he started out in the blues business,
     Jimmy McCracklin was still touring, recording, and acting like a
     much younger man. In fact, he vehemently disputed his commonly
     accepted birth date, but since he began recording back in 1945, it
     seemed reasonable. McCracklin grew up in Missouri, his main
     influence on piano being Walter Davis (little Jimmy's dad introduced
     him to the veteran pianist). McCracklin was also a promising
     pugilist, but the blues eventually emerged victorious.
     McCracklin's liaison with Mercury was relatively brief, from late
     1958 to the fall of 1960, and Bear Family has only managed to locate
     13 songs for this CD. But it's a rewarding chapter in the pianist's
     endlessly nomadic recording career, featuring his original dance
     tunes "Georgia Slop" and "Let's Do It (The Chicken Scratch)", a New
     Orleans-cut cover of Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues", and some
     smoothly arranged (by Clyde Otis, Brook Benton's collaborator)
     pop/R&B outings that suggest Mercury had big plans for McCracklin
     that never quite panned out.
