Old Friends... together for the first time... nearly fifty years
after their paths first crossed, a legendary group of old blues friends
from Memphis and the Mississippi Delta finally gathered in a Chicago
studio to record together for the first time. Sunnyland Slim, Big Walter
Horton, Floyd Jones and Honeyboy Edwards knew each other since the
early 1930s: Kansas City Red, the youngster of the bunch at 54, met the
others one by one during the 1940s, and over the years, in Chicago and
down South, the bluesmen worked with one another off and on in various
combinations. Not until 1979, at a prestigious Carnegie Hall concert in
New York, did all five play together on the same stage, and it was 1980
before the quintet recorded as a unit. This recording session and the
Carnegie Hall concert were the only times these musicians played as a
quintet.
