Lonesome Sundown

• DIGIPACK COLLECTOR'S SERIES

Commencing his musical career in 1955 as a guitarist with Clifton Chenier’s Zodico Ramblers, Cornelius Green a.k.a. Lonesome Sundown is remembered as one of Louisiana’s most versatile axemen and a true architect of “the sound of the swamp.” Along with Slim Harpo, Lightnin’ Slim, Lazy Lester and Silas Hogan, Sundown was one of the blues champions that graced J.D. Miller’s stable between the Fifties and Sixties. However, unlike some of the one-dimensional artists Miller recorded, Sundown could adapt to several musical styles, including blues, soul, pop, country, and rock ‘n’. This Colllease presents most of Lonesome Sundown's finest efforts. It compiles 24 remastered tracks, including all of the sensational and hard-to-find singles he recorded for the Excello label between 1956 and 1963.
