Trumpeter Lee Collins is heard in a similar setting, backing the great (and, at the time, recently rediscovered) blues singer Chippie Hill in a combo with Lovie Austin or J.H.

Two numbers are instrumental trio features for Shayne. This set is a must for trad- and classic blues collectors. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
