His deep and mellow voice and impeccable taste also made him a successful jazz-blues crossover artist. This quintessential release includes two of Witherspoon's finest albums from the early Sixties: Roots (Reprise 1961), and the self-titled Jimmy Witherspoon (Crown 1960). The former is a true hidden classic with accompaniment by saxophonist Ben Webster, trumpeter Gerald Wilson, and a rhythm section consisting of pianist Ernie Freeman and drummer Jim Miller. The warmth of Spoon's voice can be heard on material like 'Your Red Wagon,' 'I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water,' 'Key to the Highway' (in one of the most unique versions ever recorded), and Jimmy Rushing's lonely 'Did You Ever'. The latter album is filled with both studio and live recordings from his 1947-1951 sides on the Modern label. These outstanding LPs have been remastered and packaged together in this very special collector's edition, which also includes 3 bonus tracks from the same period.\u003cp\u003eI'd Rather Drink Muddy Water\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm Gonna Move To The Outskirts Of Town\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey To The Highway\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDid you ever?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfessin' The Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNobody knows you when you're down and out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour red wagon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRain is such a lonesome sound\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCherry red\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's A Low Down Dirty Shame\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust a dream\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease, Mr Webster\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAin't Nobody's Business (If I Do)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo Rollin' Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBig Fine Girl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFailing by degrees\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew Orleans Woman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI done found out\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet lovin' baby\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFickle woman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave a ball\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGood Jumping (Aka Jump Children)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHard Workin' Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm just a ladies man\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't Ever Move A Woman Into Your House\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55130921468289,"sku":"1252831","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61Q-nYNIY2L._SL1500.jpg?v=1766924639","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1252831","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
