Herb Ellis and Freddie Green - Rhythm Willie

I saw a copy of this for sale online the other day and it wasn’t cheap, so thought I’d drag out my copy and give it a spin.

It’s a competent, double guitar-driven affair, which is largely uneventful. Not my bag at all, really, although I like some of the components greatly – Ellis’s fat Gibson tone and Ray Brown’s smoking bass, for instance.

Judging by the amount of releases, re-releases and positive reviews, it’s quite a well-regarded album. I have absolutely no idea how I happen to own it.

Also, I have no fucking idea what is going on on the sleeve. I've spent too long looking at it for my own good, now.
