This collects documents the winning streak of an impossible-to-nail-down bluesman

  • We Say...

    You can't nail Lowell Fulson down in a line or two. He was a bluesman who recorded for countless labels, and he hit a winning streak not long into his career: "Three O'Clock Blues," a later standard for B.B. King, "Every Day I Have the Blues," and his sole R&B No. 1, "Blue Shadows." Interestingly, given Fulson's well-deserved rep with a guitar, he elects to sing this one over baleful late-night piano, sax, bass and drum, and with a dry throat he more than sells the heartbreak: "If you got a good woman/You better take my advice/Always treat her like an angel/Keep her home at any price."

  • They Say...

    Guitarist/singer Lowell Fulson has long been an overlooked blues innovator, overshadowed by more commercially successful artists such as B.B. King. In truth, Fulson gave King "Three O'Clock Blues," which became a hit for King in the '50s. British label JSP does its best to present a more complete picture of Fulson with the four-CD box set Lowell Fulson 1946 to 1953. A superb collection, the set traces the rise of Fulson from obscure Oklahoma guitar slinger to "chitlin circuit" blues star.
