He can be heard on classic blues songs like Little Walter’s “My Babe” and “Boom, Boom, Out Go The Lights”; Sonny Boy Williamson’s “Nine Below Zero” and “Eyesight To The Blind.” He also recorded with Muddy Waters, Otis Spann, Eddie Boyd, Willie Mabon, Sunnyland Slim, Roosevelt Sykes and others.This 1970 session was Robert’s first album as a leader!

THIS WEEK: While Delmark’s women of the blues albums dominate the charts, Robert Jr. Lockwood enters in the 23rd position followed by other 3 historical Delmark recordings by T-Bone Walker and Jimmy Dawkins.
