Frankie Lee Sims
This collection of Sims' Specialty sides, primarily in a drums and electric guitar format, is pretty hard to beat. It combines all of the original singles, the extra tracks from his lone album plus unissued material and until further alternate takes come to light, the best overview of his tenure with the label. Some tracks are augmented with ...

These rare 14 tracks find Sims in raw form, more so than his Specialty recordings of the '50s, with reworkings of "Lucy Mae Blues" and ...

by
Dan Treanor & Frankie Lee
This collaboration between soul singer Frankie Lee and multi-instrumentalist bluesman Dan Treanor definitely utilizes some African elements, but the title might be an exaggeration. At heart it's very much a straightforward (and excellent) blues record. Of course, the blues does have its roots in African music, but they're not as widely explored as ...
