J.B. Lenoir - Natural Man (Expanded Edition) (2021)

This collection of J.B. Lenoir's mid-'50s tenure at the label originally issued in the '70s duplicates two songs from the Parrot collection (a label which Chess later acquired), but the rest of it is more than worth the effort to seek out. The rocking "Don't Touch My Head," the topical "Eisenhower Blues" and the sexually ambiguous, chaotic and cool title track are but a few of the magical highlights aboard. Either this or the Parrot sides will do in a pinch, but after hearing this, you won't be able to imagine being without either one.
