MELVIN “LIL’ SON” JACKSON WAS A STYLISTIC THROWBACK FROM THE MOMENT HE
FIRST TURNED UP DURING THE IMMEDIATE POSTWAR ERA. HE WAS A TEXAS COUNTRY
BLUESMAN OF THE HIGHEST ORDER WHOSE RUSTIC APPROACH APPEALED WHOLE
HEARTEDLY TO THE EARLY-’50s BLUES MARKETPLACE. IN 1946, HE SHIPPED OFF A DEMO
TO BILL QUINN, WHO OWNED A HOUSTON DISKERY CALLED “GOLD STAR RECORDS”.
QUINN WAS SUITABLY IMPRESSED, INKING JACKSON AND ENJOYING A NATIONAL R&B
HIT, “FREEDOM TRAIN BLUES”, IN 1948 FOR HIS MODEST INVESTMENT. IT WOULD PROVE
JACKSON’S ONLY NATIONAL HIT. JACKSON’S BEST “IMPERIAL” WORK WAS RECORDED
SOLO AND THIS ALBUM, RELEASED IN 1962, HAS BECOME AN EXTREMELY HIGH SOUGHT
AFTER AND COLLECTIBLE ITEM THROUGH THE DECADES AND I AM GLAD TO OFFER A
BEAUTIFUL COPY OF THIS ORIGINAL DEEP GROOVE MONO PRESSING WITH GORGEOUS,
SPLENDID AND OBVIOUS HARDLY PLAYED DISC, COVER HAS SOME PAPER LEFT ON THE
SPINE AND PART OF THE PRINTING HAS GONE-COME WITH “IMPERIAL” INNER SLEEVE.
