This 42-track 2- CD collection comprises most of his releases during this era on the Apollo, Aristocrat, Parrot, Chess, Mad, Formal \u0026amp; Solar labels, plus other Chess recordings which were not released at the time. It features his two No. R\u0026amp;B hits, 'I Don't Know' and 'I'm Mad' and his 1955 R\u0026amp;B Top 10 hit 'Poison Ivy', along with other notable recordings including Willie Dixon's 'Seventh Son'. As a city blues artist, his songwriting often had a wry, tongue-in-cheek approach to social commentary, and his music had an urbane and stylishly streetwise feel, which comes across through this trawl across the primary era of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eIt Keeps Raining\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eBogey Man\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTrouble In My Home\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTimes Are Getting Hard\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWorry Blues\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI Don't Know\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI'm Mad\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eNight Latch\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eYou're A Fool\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eMonday Woman\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eI Got To Go\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCruisin'\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWould You, Baby\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLate Again\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePoison Ivy\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSay Man\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eCome On Baby\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eWow!
