Fine reissue featuring all the recordings by this obscure but very fine blues shouter. Eddie Mack (Mack Edmondson) was part of the Brooklyn blues scene in the late 40s and early 50s but his subsequent career is a mystery. He is featured here with various groups including Cootie Williams & His Orch. (he replaced Eddie Vinson), Lucky Millinder & His Orch and others. Sidemen include Willis Jackson, Bill Jennings, Bobby Smith, Haywood Henry, Rene Hall, Mickey Baker and others. Includes his intriguing qand fine covers of Tennessee Ernie Ford's Shotgun Boogie and Merle Travis's Divorce Me C.O.D..
