Still the Best CM recording that I simply cannot do without.

 

Louisiana Fog was recorded in 1968, where Charlie employed

some very young members of what would become "The Charles

Ford Blues Band". Robben Ford, Pat Ford, Stan Poplin. He also

used Tim Kaihatsu on rhythm guitar, and Daryl Dragon & Clay

Cotton on piano. This LP originally came out on the Cherry Red

Label, and was produced by Morey Alexander, who later moved

on to Kent Records. Although the recordings are only a mere

34 minutes...there's not one filler...it's ALL killer.

 

These recording made their way onto cd in 1994. It's also been

reissued on CD in 96 as "Takin Care Of Business" on the Kent Label.

 

Real High Praise for this particular CM session.
