Together with John Lee Hooker and Eddie Kirkland, Bobo Jenkins was a pivotal figure in the Detroit blues scene of the '50s and '60s. An electric blues guitarist, singer and songwriter, Jenkins worked at the Packard Motor Company and on the side, managed a garage, before landing a job at Chrysler, where he worked for 27 years. He wrote most of his songs while working on the assembly line. This collector's CD release contains those hard-to-find 7" sides Bobo Jenkins made for different imprints like Chess, Fortune, and Boxer. (with WILLIE JOHNSON in support!!)
