A mysteriously elusive figure, until now guitarist Rudy Green has been merely a footnote to the histories of the rich Nashville and Chicago R&B scenes of the 1940s and 1950s. This compilation seeks to rectify this unwarranted neglect of a fine performer and makes available on glorious vinyl this legendary "lost album" which was planned over twenty years ago but never saw the light of day!"

RUDY GREEN
WILD LIFE
In 1988, I was contacted by Jonas Bernholm to co-produce a Rudy Green LP for his "Whisky, Women, And..." subsidiary. Sixteen tracks were selected from Rudy's twelve issued singles and were sent for remastering, and the catalogue number was registered (KM-705), but the much-anticipated volume never materialised; the burgeoning CD revolution took off with a vengeance, Jonas decided to get out of the music business and the project was shelved.
Now, this exciting El Toro LP finally makes available this legendary "lost album" which was planned over twenty years ago but never saw the light of day!

Also included are a few examples of Rudy's work as a session guitarist in Chicago in the 1950s.
