Disc three shows no signs of slowing down with John Brim's Tough Times kicking things into gear, and with backing from Jimmy Reed's rugged harp and guitar from Eddie Taylor, Brim's vocals get tight and driving support. More rarities arise with Jimmy Reed's I Found My Baby (which may have drumming supplied by Albert King) and King's own passionate Bad Luck Blues is superb Chicago Blues. Sunnyland Slim's It's All Over Now and Back To Korea Blues find the hard-working pianist getting full support from Snooky Pryor and Baby Face Leroy, and Robert Lockwood's 1951 recording of Dust My Broom features sparkling Lockwood guitar with bomb-dropping percussion from Alfred "Fat Man" Wallace propelling things in straight ahead fashion. Muddy Waters blows through an updated Baby Please Don't Go with Turn The Lamp Down Low and Little Walter's harp here is at its muscular and distorted best, just as it is on Walter's own highly-charged instrumental, Don't Have To Hunt No More. A major surprise comes from Essie Sykes, whose Easy Walkin' Papa seems to have immediately followed a Regal session for Roosevelt Sykes in 1951, and while Roosevelt's piano was never that of a slouch, his fine efforts (and those of the singer) are somewhat overshadowed by Robert Nighthawk's gutter-drenched guitar. Grace Brim, Snooky Pryor, Tampa Red, Johnny Young, Junior Wells, and Johnny Shines also garner plenty of space on some serious attention-drawing numbers. --- bigroadblues.com
