Synopsis

Product Description
The vigorous piano work and forceful singing of the man known as "The Honeydripper" is showcased in this exquisite collection of music and song. From funky barrelhouse, to hard rolling boogie-woogie, to the sad and broken hearted blues, SYKES covers it all with the heart and soul of a man and an artist whose music truly was his business, his love, and his life. Appearing on selected tracks with Sykes are redoubtable blues guitarists, Johnny Shines, and Louisiana Red, as well as acclaimed harpist, Sugar Blue. Recorded in 1975 and originally released to limited distribution, "Music Is My Business" is now again available on compact disc. If vintage blues piano is your pleasure, then you'll want to make it your business with the latest offering in authentic American blues from Labor Records.
