The Blues Box, 1966 on Verve Folkways.
3xLP box set featuring Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, and Jimmy Witherspoon. On a couple of sides Hopkins plays with Terry & McGhee. The recordings were all made in Los Angeles - the first two LPs are taken from the Ash Grove on July 6th and 7th, 1960, and the third LP says it was recorded in LA in September 1959. My copy via Flip Over Records in Acton MA. I love finding old box sets for a reasonable price.https://goatless.org/2026/04/30/the-blues-box-1966-on-verve-folkways

Jimmy Witherspoon (featuring Ben Webster) - "Roots" (1961) #NowPlaying #JimmyWitherspoon #BenWebster #RepriseRecords #vinyl #vinylrecords @vinylrecords
Pairing blues crooner Witherspoon with jazz titan Webster might seem unusual, but Reprise was owned by Frank Sinatra, who loved both musicians, and no doubt put them together.
This #AnalogueProductions reissue is a revelation, a legit #audiophile reference recording. It's like listening to the master tape.
