Ahugely popular figure in the world of pre-war Blues and Jazz, Clarence really does 'Whoop It Up' on this CD.Exceptional recordings and very listenable, this CD will appeal to Williams fans but should easily create new ones. This is the roaring 20's and one really gets a feel of the wild, all nighters. Don't know what he was on when this music was recorded but it's pure 100% vintage listening pleasure.
