'In Europe' was recorded on October 20th, 1965 while Big Mama Thornton was part of the Folk Blues Festival revue that was touring Europe at the time. The sessions finds her in great form with an ace backing band offering killer support on tracks such as 'Little Red Rooster', 'Unlucky Girl' and 'Hound Dog'. The band consists of Buddy Guy - guitar, Fred Below - drums, Eddie Boyd - piano and organ, Jimmy Lee Robinson - bass, Walter 'Shakey' Horton - harmonica. Essential blues in mono.

High Quality Recording of Willie Mae Thornton
I am awed by Big Mama Thornton's talent. This CD is the best recording of her that I have found so far, and contains a live interview with her.

Real music from the 5's
I have a collection of music from the 40's and 50's. This is a great example of real music of the times, and recorded then and is not a recreation.

Un grande disco blues
Capolavoro di blues & roots. Grandissima voce e ottimi interpreti. Un ascolto sorprendente anche per l'età del master. Vinile stiloso in una ristampa godibilissima. L'originale è pressochè impossibile trovarlo in buone condizioni

Aquellas mujeres
Pasan los años y ninguno de ellos pasa por estas voces que nos abrieron a otras almas. Big Mama Thorton està entre las grandes y este CD es toda una joya
