Arhoolie LP-1004
Lil Son Jackson
Recorded by Chris Strachwitz in Dallas in 1960.
Reissued through City Hall.
New vinyl with download card included.
Texan bluesman Melvin “Lil Son” Jackson was a contemporary of Lightnin’ Hopkins who originally recorded for the Gold Star and Imperial labels in the ’40s and ’50s. A car accident in the mid-’50s led to Jackson giving up his music career, and he returned to work as a mechanic. Arhoolie’s Chris Strachwitz pulled him out of retirement in 1960, convincing him to record this classic and rare Texas blues LP. Reissued in all its original glory on vinyl in a deluxe old-style jacket. Includes download card for a free digital copy of the entire album.
