about

"In my mind, he was the finest blues musician of the post-World War II generation. It was a sad misfortune that he never gained a following outside his hometown. Sure, New Haven music critics praised him, but none really laid it down that here among them lived a great genius." -- Loren Connors

Reissue of Robert Crotty's 1989 debut LP "Robert Crotty Blues," originally released on Loren Connors's private St. Joan imprint. The album features ripping electric blues by The Robert Crotty Band and solo acoustic meditations on Jimmie Rodgers and Sam Cooke. This remastered version includes the ultra-rare Prove It! 7-inch issued on St. Joan in 1988.

All pieces recorded live in New Haven, Connecticut

1-9 Released as Robert Crotty Blues LP, St. Joan Records 1989
