For someone who owns no Lonnie Johnson, and can only buy one Lonnie Johnson CD, which one would you recommend? And while we're at it, same question for Memphis Minnie. IP: Logged

His music also crossed over from early blues, almost into jazz. For his early years, try either of the two Yazoo cd's, or the Roots n' Blues series by Columbia called "Steppin on the Blues".
