Another new digital reissue from Numero Group today from Chicago blues
guitarist Willie Davis. He only appears to have released this one single with both sides being
released on two labels, Cher Kee and Daran but with the side switched for
each. Neither is dated, but going by other releases looks like it's a late
70s/80s recording but sounds much earlier.
One source lists it as 1974? He has a cassette single listed for 1993
which does seem to place this release as late 80s, others surrounding it
on label discographies are listed as 1987. Also, he was a member of a
group called The West Side All Stars who were active in 1987. An odd
releases for those times but perhaps it had been in the can for a
while?
The A side is a real 'wrist slashing', bluesy deep soul song "I Learned My Lesson" which was sampled by Elijah Blake in 2017 for "Hanging Tree". The flip "Why Did You Leave Me" is a 'jump joint' style blues song.
