In 1956, One String Sam recorded two tracks, this one and “My Baby Ooo”. “I Need $100” by One String Sam is one of the weirdest blues tracks I’ve ever heard. Big Maceo, who died in ’53, lived in both Detroit & Chicago and was key in the development of blues in both cities. Green’s track is gritty and has more of a Delta feel to it. These two cuts are classics and totally essential. On side two, things start off with blues pianist Detroit Count’s two part single from ’48, “Hastings Street Opera”, which recounts all the rough bars and lounges along Hastings Street, the center of black culture in Detroit.

But Detroit’s blues scene was overshadowed by both the Chicago blues scene and the Motown sound that sprung up in the 60s. And, of course, they brought the blues with them.
