"Minnie was one of the best and most respected guitarists in the city, reportedly winning contests against some of the best male players such as Big Bill Broonzy. Minnie was also one of the earliest artists to make the switch to electric guitar....The quartet featured here is actually an early example of what would became the definitive Chicago blues band. Minnie was recording electric blues with a guitar, piano, bass and drums combination before Muddy Waters."
