Regarded as the most important musician to have come out of the Bay Area in the post-WWII era, he went on to enjoy a long career, spanning seven decades. McCracklin formed the first line-up of his celebrated BLUES BLASTERS in 1946, with guitarist Robert Kelton, who was replaced by Lafayette Thomas in 1949. The band carved out a mighty reputation, upon which he built his subsequent career. This compilation anthologises McCracklin's earliest recordings, between 1945-51, including pre-Blues Blasters sides, for a wide raft of different record labels. It is the prequel to another Jimmy McCracklin Jasmine 2-CD set, \"Hear My Story\" (JASMCD3080), which picked up his recording career from 1952.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jasmine Records","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ Original Blues Blasters 1945-1951 Jasmine Records","offer_id":48619334402356,"sku":"JSMR8832802.2","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/4336980-3179077.jpg?v=1749665337","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/jimmy-mccrackin-original-blues-blasters-1945-1951_aec-jsmr8832802-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
