Guitarist Clarence Green was born in 1937 & passed in 1997, was one of the most well respected 'Texas Blues Brothers' from Houston, being the senior brother of Cal Green. Both Cal and Clarence were part of the Houston blues scene in the 1950's and played a role in the development of Texas Blues Guitar as exposed not only by themselves, but also by their contemporaries Johnny Copeland, Joe Hughes, Albert Collins, Roy Gaines, Johnny Guitar Watson, Pete Mayes and many others. All these fellow Texan,s speak with great respect about the Green brothers. This was his only album with a handfull of 45,s and the album is still sought after by collectors. Northern fans will be interested in the first and last tracks on the album that were played akin to his great Northern Monster on Duke " Ground Hog", but sadly again limited to the one taster for choice..Great great album nevertheless!

Thanks AMM. That taster is soooo good.
I never much cared for blues, but in recent times I saw two movies with a great rocking track each - and it turned out both were performed by bluesmen. So why not go for it? Thanks, AMM!
The solitary taster was enough for we to want to hear more.
Always interesting to find some blues here. Thanks for review, P.

Thank you for your lenghty and interesting review.
Love some blues. This guy is working it. Like how he sounds a little like Albert Collins when he treats the strings a like percussion instrument. Great review!!!
