On this first volume of Chicago Blues from the vaults of C.J. Records we are treated to recordings originally produced by Carl Jones who started in the music business in the mid-1940s as a singer-songwriter. Carl first recorded for Mercury in 1945, where he was accompanied by Lonnie Johnson on guitar. Carl recorded some fine Chicago Blues, Doo Wop and Gospel for his C.J./Colt and Firma labels as Narvel Eatmon a.k.a. Cadillac Baby had done for his Bea & Baby, Keyhole and Miss labels.

Carl and Cadillac Baby were two black music business entrepeneurs who carved out a nitch for themselves by working and helping to establish homegrown talent, many who went on to build nice careers for themselves with a few like Hound Dog Taylor and Betty Everett who achieved national recognition. /Excerpt from the liner notes by Ron Bartolucci

Johnny Walker--Big Moose, Busy Head, Moose John, J. W. Walker--by whatever name he was called him, he was Chicago’s irrepressible wild man of blues piano. He wore a splendid smile and long, wavy hair; in his briefcase he carried a gorilla mask and a “Big Moose” jersey. Just as musicians and audiences enjoyed Moose’s antics, they also admired the exuberant, two-fisted blues he played. He’s worked alongside the best in the business and rambled from coast to coast.

Jimmy Rogers (June 3, 1924 – December 19, 1997) was a Chicago blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player, best known for his work as a member of Muddy Waters's band in the early 1950s. He also had solo hits on the R&B chart with "That's All Right" in 1950 and "Walking by Myself" in 1954. He withdrew from the music industry at the end of the 1950s but returned to recording and touring in the 1970s.
