Twenty Four recordings from the FEDERAL label that chronicle the early 60's blues/r&b recordings of the period.  This is the first time that Syl's FEDERAL sides have been together (excluding the massive NUMERO box set) and the third time that Smokey Smothers incredible sides have been digitized. These sides feature Freddie King on many of them and provide a lesson on how to play as an ensemble..........
