Description

Mystery man Hollins - never interviewed as far as I know - with one of his two post war issues. His other Decca 78 is more common. This one obviously influenced John Lee Hooker who used the 'King Snake' theme himself to great effect. Hollins also recorded an earlier version in 1941. Superb sides with Sunnyland Slim along plus an unknown very agile acoustic? 2nd guitar - maybe Pete Franklin - contrasting with Hollins' gutsy guitar and deep vocals showing his Mississippi roots. A gem of a record. Chicago, 1951.

If buying more than one record within the UK pay individually and I will refund any postage over payment via Paypal or wait for my invoice. Overseas I am using eBay's Global Shipping programme which may mean that wins are charged and dispatched separately so be aware. I pack in 12x12x6" boxes with stiffeners and peanuts for protection. All parcels are sent tracked and/or signed for. Payment via Paypal.
Contact me via the eBay messaging system if you have any queries.
(NOTE that after this auction closes my next listing will be in September.)
