Here Jasmine Records have another tribute to the great Texas blues guitarists this time focusing on Pee Wee Crayton. As with many Texas blues guitarists he was influenced by T-Bone Walker. However unlike many other T-Bone followers he managed to imbue his style with considerably more original elements which gave him an enviable chart run in the late 1940s. Includes his singles recorded for Gru V Tone, Modern, Recorded in Hollywood, Imperial and VeeJay between 1947 & 1957. This set showcases some of the best examples of his work such as his #1 hit "Blues After Hours" plus "Texas Hop" "I Love You So" and many more. Considering how influential his guitar techniques became Pee Wee Crayton is a generally underappreciated talent. In recent years his importance has certainly been reappraised and here are 55 examples of his exemplary art.
