"Lonely Girl" is Lee Jackson’s unfiltered blues masterpiece, a raw and rebellious testament to his roots in the Mississippi Delta. Recorded in 1973 with his trusted collaborators—Sunnyland Slim, Carey Bell, and Willie Williams—this album reveals Jackson as more than just a sideman, but a singular voice in blues history. His gritty guitar and soulful, unpolished vocals blend tradition with a swagger that’s all his own, capturing the heart of the Delta in every note. These tracks were never meant to be buried in time, and now, thanks to its remastered release, this long-lost gem resurfaces as a powerful, authentic relic from a true blues pioneer.

Born in 1907 and rooted in Mississippi’s Delta, Lee Jackson’s journey through the blues pantheon reads like a map of the genre itself. Known primarily as a sideman alongside legends such as Sunnyland Slim, Little Walter, and Elmore James, Jackson’s own voice and guitar playing reveal a raw, authentic power that has always deserved its time in the spotlight.

Unearthed from the depths of blues history, Red Lightnin’ presents his only known solo studio album that captures Jackson at his creative peak - a trailblazing blues guitarist and singer whose raw sound captivated the heart of 20th-century blues. Steeped in tradition yet fiercely, rebelliously original, these tracks come rising straight from the Mississippi Delta and into your living room.

Jackson’s gritty playing blended traditional country blues with electrified swagger, and his powerful voice remains a cornerstone of modern blues history. Longtime producer and friend Al Smith once said:

“If you listen closely to these selections, you can find just how unique his style is. He seems to be a cross between the slide of the great Elmore James and the picking of Little Brother Montgomery. I first heard Lee play when he was a member of Elmore James’ great band, and that was long ago in Fort Worth, Texas. This LP was recorded in Chicago in 1973, and I used some of the greatest musicians available to make Lee feel comfortable and in a mood to really play.

The musicians were his old pal (a living legend) Sunnyland Slim on piano; the greatest young harmonica artist playing today, Carey Bell; the driving Willie Williams on drums; and a fine young bass player known as Bombay.”

So here you have it: a true relic from a true unsung legend of the blues. Lovingly remastered and available for the first time ever digitally.
