Crudup, who creates a storm of blues with his southern soulful singing and guitar, recorded this Fire album in New York in 1962 and produced by Bobby Robinson.
This masterpiece gives you a taste of Crudup, who was 57 years old at the time and at the peak of his maturity. The original is extremely rare, and this LP has been reissued with original artwork and a reverse-backed jacket!
Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup is the bluesman who originated Elvis Presley's debut song "That's All Right" and was revered by Elvis as the "real lowdown Mississippi singer." This album mainly features re-performances of his past hits, such as the title track, "That's All Right," "So Glad You're Mine," and "Katie May," which were also covered by Elvis. Crudup's trademark and greatest charm, his high-pitched singing voice, is still alive and well, but each song is full of a different kind of maturity from the original.
