Frankie Lee Sims is certainly not amongst the greatest innovators of rhythm and
blues and certainly not very famous. He did however have a very original sound
which did help to sell enough records, particularly in America's south to ensure
he was signed to four record labels during his brief career. This collection of
his very limited recorded legacy is the most complete attempted and the first to
gather together all 18 of his original released recordings in one place along
with a further 11 tracks which were not issued at the time. Standout tracks
include "Lucy Mae Blues", "Walking With Frankie" and "She Likes To Boogie Real
Low". Frankie's music was powered by an undisputed approach to the blues. His
vocals are similar in delivery to Brownie McGhee and his guitar technique
certainly brings Lightening Hopkins and Smokey Hogg to mind.
