Big Mama Thornton
Just Like a Dog
4-track 7" vinyl
(El Toro)
Big Mama's contributions to R&B were significant, acknowledged as such more in later seasons than in their own moments. Worldwide package blues tours and niche popularity eventually came to her. She was a multi-instrumentalist; her recorded presence was immense.
One hears an authenticity beyond future years' studio stuntery. Truth is a treasure.
