Notes

Dialogue tracks interspersed between music tracks are Broonzy's conversations with Bill Randle. Recorded 12-13 July 1957 in Chicago.
This release contains the US issued 5 LP set “The Bill Broonzy Story” edited to include all 35 performance tracks and the important bulk of his spoken, constantly fascinating reminiscences, often interspersed with his guitar. In the UK it was released as a 3LP set “Last Session Parts 1, 2, 3” that only included the 35 performance tracks.
