Our Take

Upon first glance, one might dismiss Pee Wee Crayton as just another name in the vast sea of blues artists from the 1940s to the 1960s. But dear reader, do not be fooled by the unassuming title of "The Pee Wee Crayton Collection 1947-62" – this album is a hidden gem just waiting to be unearthed.

Crayton's smooth guitar licks and soulful vocals transport you to a bygone era where the blues reigned supreme. His distinctive blend of jump blues and R&B will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time. Tracks like "Blues After Hours" and "Do Unto Others" showcase Crayton's virtuosity and ability to evoke raw emotion with every note.

But what truly sets Crayton apart from his peers is his ability to inject humour and playfulness into his music. Take "Bounce Pee Wee" for example – a lively and infectious tune that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a skip in your step.

Overall, "The Pee Wee Crayton Collection 1947-62" is a delightful journey through the annals of blues history, brought to life by a masterful musician with a quirky charm all his own. So go ahead, give Pee Wee Crayton a spin – you won't be disappointed.
