Comments and Reviews

fixbutte 13th Jul 2020		Willie Love made his first recordings for the Trumpet label accompanying Sonny Boy Williamson II on piano at Sonny Boy's first sessions on January 4 and March 12, 1951 in Jackson, Mississippi. These two sides here came from Love's first session with his own group, His Three Aces, on April 7, 1951 which took place at Scott Radio Service in Jackson as well. As the additionally uploaded label ads show, the record was not released in September 1951 when it was reviewed in Billboard (and as it was entered here) but already in July, and against the order of matrix numbers "Little Car Blues" was the advertised top side. The label's claims in the August ad ("The Hottest Record in Memphis", "Hot in New Orleans, Atlanta, all the South and Chicago") are hard to prove, but "Little Car Blues" actually became a regional R&B hit in Atlanta (Cash Box, Sep 8, 1951 page 17: #1 Hot in Atlanta).
