Lonnie Donegan - Lonnie (Bonus Track Edition) '1958/2000

Tracks list

Donegan's second album, recorded in March of 1958, shows some greater
sophistication. In place of sheer volume on the singing, he uses more subtle
inflections throughout this mix of blues, gospel, and folk, which includes
covers of traditional gospel songs like "Ain't You Glad You Got Religion" and
two Lee Hayes songs ("Lonesome Traveller," "Times Are Getting Hard Boys"), Blind
Willie Johnson's "Light From The Lighthouse," and Lonnie Johnson's "I've Got
Rocks In My Bed" (which is good, but exists in an even better outtake issued by
Bear Family in 1993). Jimmy Currie had taken over on lead guitar by this time,
and proved more flexible than Denny Wright, with more complex lead guitar
passages, although Wright evidently could play harder when the need arose, but
otherwise the band is unchanged. Not as strong as the first album, with more of
a folk music orientation, but not bad either. Note: The material from Lonnie is
available on Bear Family's 8-CD collection More Than "Pye In The Sky."
