a note about this track

Blues Spotlight: Wallace "Pinetop" Johnson Arrived In New Orleans During The Late 1950's. Born In Mississippi, Johnson's Piano And Singing Prowess Was Honed In The Church. Inspired By The Great Blues Shouter Roy Brown, Pinetop's Performing Resume Was Sketchy Before Arriving In Louisiana. Allen Toussaint Discovered His Talent, Recording Several Songs And Introducing Him Around The City. Unfortunately, Wallace "Pinetop" Johnson's Music Career Never Really Took Off. He Passed On In Obscurity.
