1-CD with 20-page booklet, 20 tracks. Playing time approx. 48 mns

Jimmy Lee (James Fautheree) is best known today as half of the Jimmy & Johnny duo of the 1950s. In their time, they blazed a trail across Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas from the stage of the legendary Louisiana Hayride, racking up an impressive amount of recordings for labels like Chess, Decca, and 'D. ' Yet Jimmy Lee's own solo recordings from that era are less well known, and most have never been reissued.

With this collection, intended to compliment our Jimmy & Johnny CD 'If You Don't Somebody Else Will,' Bear Family has corrected this oversight, bringing together for the first time all sixteen of Jimmy Lee's Capitol recordings from 1951-52. For a bonus, we have included his 1958 Vin single, as well as his rare 1962 Towne House recordings. Rounding out the package is a booklet with many previously unpublished photos from Jimmy Lee's own collection.
