T-Bone Walker was crucial to the formulation of modern blues. Lovers of blues piano might not like the fact, but without T-Bone's innovatory approach [who along with his friend CharlieChristian invented the vocabulary for amplified guitar], there would have been no B.B. King, no Buddy Guy, no Freddie King, no Clapton, nor any of the plank-spankers who strut the stage at festivals and club gigs - it began with T Bone. This definitive triple set covers his career output from early labels Black & White and Columbia, then on to Imperial and later Atlantic.
