Longtime accompanist of John Lee Hooker, guitarist-singer, harmonica player and songwriter Eddie Kirkland makes his first solo recording in 1962. Released under the Prestige Records label, It’s The Blues Man! is one of the essentials of the blues idiom thanks to its impulsive and rough R&B standards (among them “Down on My Knees” and “Train Done Gone”), underpinned by the breath of legendary saxophonist King Curtis.
