Last Night's Dream - Plak

ENGLISH

It's no wonder that this album, cut in 1968 with British blues maven Mike Vernon at the helm, works so well. When you team a rejuvenated Shines with his longtime compadres Horton, Spann, bassist Willie Dixon, and drummer Clifton James, a little blues history was bound to be made. »Johnny Shines is the ultimate Delta bluesman, combining the classic styles he learned as a youth into a very personal style, fluent, creative and forcefully talented as both a singer and guitarist« – Jim DeKoester »He rates amongst the most important and individualistic blues stylists of the post-war years« – Pete Welding »A forceful explosive blues singer whose strong, vibrato laden voice possesses a range and sensitivity which is rivalled by few other bluesmen« – Peter Guralnick Recording: June 1968 in Chicago by Malcolm Chisholm Production: Mike Vernon
