His songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as Little Miss Cornshucks, Willie Mabon, Ry Cooder and Ann-Margaret. Emerson's own '50s recordings, made at a time when he had something seriously good and individualistic to contribute to the blues and to the development of R&B, are instantly recognisable. In this CD we have collected together all his recordings for Sun, Vee-Jay and Chess and added his 1960 recording for the MAD label. Billy Emerson said, 'At Sun, Sam Phillips was always wanting to hear something different, and back then I could just go away and think of something different to record overnight.' That was probably why Sun issued more records by Billy Emerson than any other blues or R&B singer, and why Vee-Jay and Chess recorded him later.........
