Junior Parker - Like It Is / Honey-Drippin' Blues

2017 CD reissue,

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of Junior Parker's albums for Mercury Records, dating from 1967 and 1969. Parker's driving blues made him a force to be reckoned with, with his distinctive vocals and harmonica style. Sadly he was cut down in his prime, dying during surgery for a brain tumor in 1971. New notes accompany his versions of "Hey Lawdy Mama" and "Reconsider Baby" plus "Wish Me Well," "Country Girl," "Baby Please," "I Got Money" and more.
