1951-52

• Track Listing

Lloyd himself admitted that he was a sham as a blueman. His parents had treated him well and he had been brought up in a loving home, wanting for nothing. He would joke that he never tried to sing the blues for that reason - because he never really knew hardship. But he could play the blues well, and his empathy with those less-fortunates whom he accompanied was remarkable. This CD rounds up the remaining sessions for Swing Time Records. Includes tracks with guitarist Lowell Fulson, tenor saxophonists Freddie Simon and Johnny Crawford, and singer Willis Threats. Includes bonus Don Albert recordings from 1936.
