My Blues Are Red Hot Blues - From Memphis To Chicago 1954-1960

More Info

Singer/songwriter/pianist Billy "The Kid" Emerson was one of Ike Turner's
early 1950s discoveries, whom Ike took to Memphis and introduced to
the mighty Sam Phillips at Sun Records, he also subsequently recorded
for iconic labels like Vee Jay and Chess.

Emerson's lasting fame largely rests on a handful of songs which were more
famously recorded by other artists over the ensuing decades, notably the
Rockabilly standard 'Red Hot', 'When It Rains It Pours', which Elvis Presley cut
whilst he was at Sun, and 'Every Woman I Know (Crazy 'Bout Automobiles)', which
was later recorded by both Sam The Sham and Ry Cooder.

Although hitless, his own recording career nonetheless yielded a hugely
impressive body of work, ranging from Blues, R&B and embryonic Soul.
This compilation anthologises Emerson's singles releases between 1954-62, and
includes his original Sun recordings of both 'Red Hot' and 'When It Rains It Pours'.
