Product Description

This the hit original Brand New Z.Z. Hill album that was produced in 1971 by Swamp Dogg, digitally re-mastered. As a bonus, Swamp Dogg has included a 20 page booklet plus photos that tell the story of how this collaboration came to fruition. As if thats not enough, hes also included eleven un-released bonus tracks that you dont have in your collection.

Z.Z. Hill is still the king of the blues and a retail favorite!

4.0 out of 5 stars 21 unique ZZ tracks produced by Swamp Dogg!, January 22, 2008

Blues At The Opera? It's an ambituous concept and who better to attempt it than the late Z.Z Hill along with material from Gary U.S Bonds & Swamp Dogg ? There's even narration provided by WZZA dj/owner Bob Carl Bailey. That's just the first chunk of stuff here. Great phat liner package from producer Jerry Williams a.k.a Swamp Dogg lays out the facts & hoo haw surrounding these relatively obscure Muscle Shoals & L.A recordings. Suffice to say much mid-60's money marauding & meddling kept Z.Z Hill reticent to do biz with shysters like Phil Walden, Quin Ivy etc. After some legal wrangling Swamp Dogg was able to get an injunction lifted and get Z.Z back on the charts in the mid 70's and into the early 80's with some of this material. Jerry has also included some bonus type revamped "collector's versions" with newer instrumentations. Not every note is notable, but the total 21 song package has it's merits.

The Brand New ZZ Hill CD is awesome. Usually when I buy a CD, I want a CD with more than one good song on it. Every song on the CD is a hit. I remember this CD from my childhood, I inquired about this CD with Amazon.com several time in the past, until one day, BOOM!! There it was. I didn't waste no time, I ordered it and I'M Glad I did. I LOVE IT!!!!!
