Record #0441: So Many Tears / Hung Down Head – LOWELL FULSON

Checker 992 (original) USA, 1961
Words & Music by:  Side A – Lowell Fulson; Side B – B. Rogers, Jimmy Wilson
Musicians: Lowell Fulson (vocals and guitar), others unknown
Recording sessions: Produced by Leonard Chess & Phil Chess at Chess Studios, Chicago, IL, 1961
Highest chart positions:  Didn't hit Top 100

At the time Fulson had been without a charting single for six years, the previous hit being "Loving You", which went US R&B #14 in 1955. He kept on recording quality blues, but the genre just wasn't that popular at the time. The blues revival of the mid-60's put Fulson back on the map and into the charts in late 1965 with "Black Night" (US #91, US R&B #11).

List price:  Very Good+ is $7.50, Near Mint is $15
