blues for dootsie / the blue & dootone sides

Everything from Jump to Down Home to Boogie Woogie babes on this collection of West Coast Blues cut for and by Dootsie Williams.

Includes rare sides from Joe Turner (with Dootsie Williams & Rhythm Kings) and Bobby Nunn (pre-Coasters) in this collection of hard-to-find records. In fact, virtually everything on the Blue label is so rare it hurts!

None of these sides have been re-issued on CD or LP before and with 30 tracks - its positively packed to the gills.

Also includes a fascinating and highly-informative booklet, with notes by Jim Dawson, drawn from his in-depth interviews with Dootsie.
