Here Jasmine Records have another tribute to the great Texas blues guitarists, this time focusing on Pee Wee Crayton.

As with many Texas blues guitarists he was influenced by T-Bone Walker. However unlike many other T-Bone followers he managed to imbue his style with considerably more original elements which gave him an enviable chart run in the late 1940s.

Includes his singles recorded for Gru V Tone, Modern, Recorded in Hollywood, Imperial and VeeJay between 1947 & 1957. This set showcases some of the best examples of his work such as his #1 hit “Blues After Hours” plus “Texas Hop” “I Love You So” and many more.
