Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson - Cherry Red (Feat. Mike Bloomfiled) (1967) [CD Rip]

Somehow, amidst all the CD reissues from the King Records vaults unleashed by Charly, Ace, Rhino, and King's current ownership, this versatile alto saxist has fallen through the cracks. Thus, this two-LP collection, boasting all but a handful of his jumping 1949-1952 outings for King, remains your best introduction to the Cleanheaded one's R&B output (along with the 1945-1947 sides he waxed for Mercury, which grace the seven-disc anthology Blues, Boogie, & Bop: The 1940s Mercury Sessions). ~Bill Dahl
