"Chris Thomas King, who recently delivered a stellar performance as Tommy Johnson in the Cohen Brothers' film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", started his career playing guitar at his father's nightclub, Tabby's Blues Box in Baton Rouge, La. His contemporaries could not understand why he was playing "anachronistic" blues in the days of disco. Folklorist Nick Spitzer suggested that he make a record to show his friends that there was prestige in the blues. These are his first recordings, the result of that urging ‚ thus the sub-title "The Beginning"
