Snooky Pryor

JUNO Award winner (Canada's Grammy) Morgan Davis' music draws from a rich tradition of both Country and Big City Blues, as well as his own contemporary blues songs infused with memorable wit and a large dose of humor. Morgan is joined on I Got My Own by long time musical friends, Colin Linden (Bob Dylan Band), David Wilcox and Blues Music Award winning producer Alec Fraser (Jeff Healey Band). Morgan Davis cut his teeth playing with Blues Legends Hubert Sumlin and Snooky Pryor and his passion for the Blues has never wavered. One listen to I Got My Own will re-ignite yours!

JSP, one of the U.K.'s most active historical reissue labels, presents an outstanding postwar Chicago blues anthology packed with essential recordings made between 1947 and 1955 by Sunnyland Slim & His Pals. Out of the 104 tracks (not 97 as stated on the front of the packaging), 60 are "by" Sunnyland Slim; the other 44 were released under the names of Johnny Shines, Robert Lockwood, Floyd Jones, Leroy Foster, J.B. Lenoir, Jimmy Rogers, and St. Louis Jimmy. Sunnyland sat in on each of these dates; the enclosed discography denies his presence on the Johnny Shines date, although his piano is clearly audible…

The final album from the late blues guitar legend and W.C. Handy Award winner Mel Brown. Features previously unreleased tracks of Mel at his very best with his close friend the Chicago harp legend Snooky Pryor, fellow Mississippi mojo master Sam Myers (Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets), Miss Angel and his protege emerging guitar star Enrico Crivellaro. Also includes unreleased vintage tracks from his Bluesway/Impulse era heyday in the early 1970's with additional guitar solos recorded by Mel in 2009. The haunting and achingly beautiful original instrumental title track Love, Lost and Found on which Mel played guitar, piano and B-3 organ may be the pinnacle of his incredible career.
