This great 50 song playlist of Eddie Boyd‘s singles from 1947 to 1962 includes guitarists Robert Lockwood (a lot of them), Sammy Lawhorn (“Vacation from the Blues,” “It’s Too Bad”), L.C. McKinley (“Five Long Years,” “Blue Coat Man”), Lee Cooper (also on quite a few), William Lacey, Eugene Pearson, Ellis Hunter, Lonnie Graham. I couldn’t wait for Blues Roots to post this. I hope you find something you like.
Eddie Boyd is probably best known as the author of “Five Long Years” (covered by Buddy Guy, among many others) and “Third Degree.” In the late 1960s, he made a couple albums on Blue Horizon with Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac.

This is such an education, thank you Don a million times. I’ve never heard of Eddie Boyd, should I? Did I miss him? Or did we not register him in England. He played with Peter Green … I should have known that! I do now, thanks to you Don.
Thank you.

Hey Martyn, I didn’t want to put too much emphasis on his association with Fleetwood Mac or John Mayall because these early records are really “the ones” to listen to, but I guess it won’t hurt to post this (I haven’t checked it against the records but the first part “looks right,” after that there’s a bunch of bonus material, then the songs with the red and tan covers are the other album with Eddie Boyd and Fleetwood Mac).
