This is, by far the most comprehensive collection of Eddie's pre-funk recordings and feature some rock & roll classics like I'M WISE which later became a smash for Little Richard under the title SLIPPIN & SLIDIN. From the raw, early bluesy sound of his ACE & APOLLO sides thru his time at CHESS he maintained a rough tough r&b sound that rivaled such contemporaries as Guitar Slim & Professor Longhair. The second disc delves into his amazing recordings for the New Orleans RIC label which are 60's Crescent City classics including the original dance disc CHECK MR. POPEYE and the swinging EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY........
