PEE WEE CRAYTON
with LLOYD ROWE (rhythm guitar), BEN BROWN (bass)
LARRY NASH (piano, electric piano), ROBERT L. DUPREE (drums)
Highly accomplished blues guitarist whose career blossomed during the late '60s blues boom.
Although he was certainly inexorably influenced by the pioneering electric guitar conception
of T-Bone Walker (what axe-handler wasn't during the immediate postwar era?), Pee Wee Crayton
brought enough daring innovation to his playing to avoid being labeled as a mere T-Bone imitator.
Crayton's recorded output for Modern, Imperial, and Vee-Jay contains plenty of dazzling,
marvelously imaginative guitar work, especially on stunning instrumentals such
as "Texas Hop," "Pee Wee's Boogie," and "Poppa Stoppa," all far
more aggressive performances than Walker usually indulged in
"'THINGS I USED TO DO"

Pee Wee Crayton, a popular L.A.-based blues singer and guitarist, recorded frequently
between 1947-57 but this 1970 session was his first full album and ended an eight-year
drought in the studios. At 55, Crayton performed some country-flavored tunes and soul
ballads but is at his best on the simpler straightahead blues such as a spirited
"Let the Good Times Roll," the atmospheric instrumental "Blues After Hours," "Things I Used to Do"
and "S.K. Blues" which at 6:24 is easily the longest performance of the brief 41-minute set.
Although not a major stylist, Crayton is in good form throughout his date...(AllMusic)
