Description by OLDIES.com:

Floyd Dixon was a top flight blues and R&B pianist and versatile vocalist who enjoyed his heyday during the late’40s and through the ‘50s, his music evolving as rock ‘n’ roll transformed the landscape of popular music, and forged a second career as a popular elder statesman of the genre in later decades. Making his recording debut with other leaders’ bands, he signed a solo deal with the Modern label in 1949 he immediately made a Top 10 impact in the R&B charts with “Dallas Blues” following up with another hit “Mississippi Blues”. He subsequently recorded for the Aladdin label, replacing Charles Brown in Johnny Moore’s Three Blazers, scoring his biggest hits for that label in 1951-2, making the Top 10 with “Sad Journey Blues” and the Top 5 with “Telephone Blues and “Call Operator 210”. This great value 77-track 3-CD set comprises most of the A & B sides of his releases on Modern, Peacock, Aladdin, Specialty, Cat, Checker, Ebb, Cash, Kent, Swingin’, Duchess & Dodge labels during these years which represent the most important era of his career, and also includes early recordings with Eddie Williams & His Brown Buddies and Sonny Parker & His Allstars for the Supreme label. It naturally includes all his R&B chart entries. It represents a substantial cross-section of his work, underlining his ability to work in a variety of different blues and R&B styles, and provides a thoroughly entertaining one of the genre’s significant talents who has not received the attention he merits.
