Texas born, Los Angeles blues guitarist Bee Houston became known as Big Mama Thornton's guitarist during the waning years of her career. He was also a rough but wonderful, although largely unknown, singer. Unfortunately he died before the current rave for Blues got under way. This CD contains not only his entire Arhoolie LP issued in the 1970s, but also most of a second, earlier but unissued session. We have also included a previously un-released, improvised cut sung by Big Mama Thornton which belongs to Bee Houston because it shows him as the remarkably sensitive and soulful musician and person that he was.
