Texan bluesman Melvin "Lil Son" Jackson was a contemporary of Lightnin' Hopkins who originally recorded for the Gold Star and Imperial labels in the 0s and 0s.

A car accident in the mid-0s led to Jackson giving up the music career and returning to work as a mechanic.

Arhoolie's Chris Strachwitz pulled him out of retirement in 1960, convincing him to record this classic and rare Texas blues LP.

Reissued in all its original glory.
