New Orleans 5 : Louis Armstrong Sings WC Handy


A marriage of Memphis's king of the blues and New Orleans' most famous son, Louis Armstrong Plays WC Handy is Louis bluesiest recording.

Recognised as a mid career high I was delighted when I was able to replace my CD with an almost immaculate 50 year old piece of vinyl.  OK it's got a bit of a warp but I can't hear it.

The New Orlean's classic Careless Love is converted to Loveless Love but it also contains classics Long Gone, Beale St Blues and The Memphis Blues.
