Blues

Review: Chicago bluesman Billy Boy Arnold was already a decade into his lengthy career when he first recorded and released 'You're My Girl' on legendary jazz label Prestige Records' blues-focused offshoot, Bluesville. Here the record gets a deserved reissue, introducing a new generation to one of the singer-songwriter and harmonica player's greatest recordings. Wild, free, low-slung and deliciously groovy, the track's numerous neat musical details naturally include some superb harmonica solos from the man himself. He also blows up a storm on up-tempo blues B-side 'School Time', an undeniably heavier and more low-slung affair that's every bit as infectious as the A-side.
