The phrase ‘from boxer to soul singer’ characterises the career of Jimmy McCracklin. In this broadcast we focus on his blues period (1946-1957).
Jimmy McCracklin: Miss Mattie left me
Rock and rye
Miss Minnie Lee blues
I can’t understand love
Bad condition blues
Just won’t let her go
Gotta cut out
Movin’ on down the line
Rockin’ man
That’s life
Looking for a woman
Share and share alike
She felt too good
Hear my story
I wanna make love to you
You’re the one
Take – a – chance
I’m the one
Blues blasters boogie
