Rudy Spencer Green (September 1926, Lake Charles, Louisiana) is not a household name in the blues world, but his guitar playing shows him to be an ardent disciple of T-Bone Walker. Green made his first recordings in 1946 in Nashville for the Bullet label. Three singles were released in 1946-47, two with a very jazzy rhythm trio (This Happened/Evil Man Blues and No Good Woman Blues/Deep in My Heart), the third one (Buzzard Pie/Florida Blues) in Louis Jordan style, with a small horn-led jump band. Six years later, in Chicago, he did session work for the Chance label, but he also recorded eight tracks, accompanied by King Kolax & his band. In the mid 1950s Green played a lot in clubs in the Chicago area and he recorded three singles for Club 51 with Eddie Chamblee's Combo. Back in Nashville, he recorded two 45s for Excello and in december 1966 in New York, he recorded two wild black rock 'n' roll singles (Juicy Fruit/You're The One For Me and Lonesome/Wild Life). Green got no promotion and this really killed the commercial chances of these great singles. This compilation contains the A and B sides of his 12 released singles and three bonus tracks featuring Rudy Green as a session guitarist. Rudy Green died in Florida in 1976.
