He was purported to be Big Bill Broonzy's half-brother, but whether he was or not, he performed and recorded with Broonzy in Chicago in the pre-electric era of the 30s and 40s, along with a coterie of other noted performers based in the city Buster Bennett, Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, Roosevelt Sykes and others. This 3-CD collection is a selected overview of the 150 and more recordings he made during the two decades of his primary career - unable or unwilling to make the transition to the electric era, he retired to become a Chicago policeman before making a comeback in the blues revival of the 60s. Its a great value 75-track 3-CD set, presenting some of the most entertaining acoustic blues you could wish to hear - some critics have dismissed him as hokum, but there is its an anthology which demonstrates that Sam was every bit as authentic and influential as many of his more lauded contemporaries.
