MCM Records
was founded by a French woman,
Marcelle Chailleux Morgantini
, after she heard the blues live in the clubs during a trip to Chicago. She returned to Chicago with a tape machine, a small mixing board, and a good selection of microphones in 1975, 1976, and 1977, capturing a very specific time in the history of Chicago blues, recording live sets by
Magic Slim
,
Eddie Clearwater
Eddie Taylor
Bobby King
Jimmy Johnson
Willie Kent
James Lyons
Joe Carter
Jimmy Dawkins
, and others, and then issuing them on her own
MCM
imprint. All of these sessions are collected here, capturing a late Golden Age for Chicago blues. ~ Steve Leggett
