Considered a disposable fad, unworthy of expensive recording resources, by the concert promoters and radio executives of the day, live R&B and Jump Blues was rarely captured for posterity and only then, usually because of its accidental inclusion in a larger program of 'more laudable music' such as jazz. This makes the two dozen rarities on Welcome Back To Town all the more welcome - whether taken from a live concert performance or a radio transcription, there is something magical and exciting about these little slices of musical history. Featuring Rhythm & Blues legends such as Hot Lips Page, T-Bone Walker, Joe Liggins, Joe Turner, Jimmy Witherspoon, Johnny Otis and more... Fasten your safety belts!
