Notes: Isaiah Ross was born on a farm in Tunica, Mississippi, to parents of native American origin. He began playing harmonica as a boy, and entertained at house parties with guitarist Wiley Galatin. After two spells in the army he took a job with general Motors, first in Illinois and then, in 1954, in Flint, Michigan, where he spent the rest of his life, working at the Chevrolet plant. He recorded for Sun in the early '50s but it was through later singles for Fortune and associated labels that he earned a reputation in the '60s which led to him being booked for the 1965 AFBF. After that he was frequently invited back to Europe.
This was recorded in january 1965. That year was busy for him. He played a gig at the University Of Chicago, which furnished the tracks on this CD, and either the next day or week later cut an album for Testament. In fall he joined the AFBF, playing his way round Europe and impressing the many people who had never beforeseen a one-man blues band. Despite its title, this is NOT a typical performances, since Ross plays only harmonica and guitar.

Notes: Dr. Ross, “The Harmonica Boss,” was one of the truly original personalities on the postwar Blues scene. A one-man band, playing the guitar left-handed with a harmonica on a rack around his neck, Dr. Ross produced some of the most hypnotic, John Lee Hooker-like boogie rhythms ever to come out of the Mississippi Delta.
These are his first and best recordings. Recorded in Memphis between 1951 and 1954.

This one will make your teeth rattle. A veteran of the early-'50s Sun Studio in Memphis, Ross became known as the "one-man band," a routine gleaned from his mentor Joe Hill Louis. He plays both fine harp (out of the Sonny Boy I mold) and exciting rhythm guitar characterized by churning, mesmerizing rhythms spiced by treble fills. These 22 infectious tracks are the good doctor's very first recordings, and they present him with rhythm section -- a style that predates his "one-man" days.
