Product Details

Henry Saint Clair Fredericks grew up absorbing the full breadth of African American musical tradition, and his early Columbia recordings in the late 1960s helped reconnect a generation of rock listeners to the deep roots of country blues at a moment when that lineage was at risk of being forgotten. This Sony collection draws from that foundational catalog, tracing the sound that influenced everyone from Bonnie Raitt to Keb' Mo'.


A brand new 17-track collection with tracks including "Statesboro Blues", "Take a Giant Step", "Fishin' Blues", "Frankie & Albert" and the previously unreleased track "Sweet Mama Janisse".
