• Track Listing

Curated by Bill Dahl, this 2-CD set is the most comprehensive portrait of Johnny’s early years ever assembled. Nothing live here—these are 41 studio tracks that all precede Johnny’s 1969 Columbia debut. The young guitar slinger is already steeped in the blues here, digging into "Parchman Farm," "Gangster of Love," "Kind Hearted Woman," "Leavin’ Blues," "32-30 Blues," "Pneumonia Blues," "Voo Doo Twist," "Goin’ Down Slow," "Ease My Pain," "Tramp," "Be Careful with a Fool," "Reeling and Rocking" (take 3), "Comin’ Up Fast" (take 2), "Livin’ in the Blues" (alternate version) and more!
