Description

T-Bone Blues is a landmark album by Aaron "T-Bone" Walker, the man who pioneered the modern electric blues guitar style. Recording for Atlantic Records, Walker's smooth, jazzy phrasing and sophisticated chord work laid the groundwork for virtually every electric blues guitarist who followed, from B.B. King and Freddie King to Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix.

T-Bone Shuffle and Mean Old World are among the most important recordings in the electric blues canon, their clean tone and swinging rhythm defining a style that would become the dominant approach to blues guitar for decades. Strollin' with Bones demonstrates Walker's jazz leanings, while I Get So Weary and Papa Ain't Salty showcase his warm, conversational vocal delivery alongside the guitar work.
