When Girls Do It

 

CD

 

"The CD debut of Red Lightnin’s much-loved and long deleted ground-breaking double LP of 1971.

28 rip-roaring blues cuts from across the 60s, with out-and-out rarities and classics from the likes of Buddy Guy, Ike Turner, Jimmy McCracklin, Magic Sam, Junior Wells and a whole heap of Herberts you’ll have wished you’d have heard of before now.

There’s over 75 minutes of cracking groove-ridden stuff here (that’s a pre-decimalisation hour and a quarter in your old money, missus). This lovingly packaged reissue features all of the weird and wonderful strangeness of the original gatefold artwork, too (yep, the girls and the monks are all there…). Broadside is here to tell you that the great blues anthology ain’t dead; he’s just been curled up by the radiator waiting for you to unlock the drinks cabinet. So come on Daddy, reach down and give it some…"
