Joe Hill Louis
The Be-Bop Boy 10" LP (vinyl)

Vinyl 10" LP from Joe Hill Louis, legendary Blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player.
As well as being a great artist in his own right, Louis was also a session musician for Sun Records.
Louis' recording debut was made for Columbia, and his music was released on a variety of independent labels through the 1950s, most notably recording for Sam Phillips' Sun Records.
His most notable single Boogie in the Park from 1950 featured Louis performing "one of the loudest, most overdriven, and distorted guitar stomps ever recorded" whilst also playing a rudimentary drum kit.
This was his only record released on Sam Phillips's early Phillips label before he founding Sun Records.
Louis' most notable recording at Sun Records was probably as guitarist on Rufus Thomas's Bear Cat, an answer record to Big Mama Thornton's Hound Dog, which reached number 3 on the R&B chart.
He also shared writing credit for the song Tiger Man, which was covered by Elvis Presley.
