Blues for Easy Livers


Blues for Easy Livers is an album by blues vocalist Jimmy Witherspoon which was recorded in 1965 and released on the Prestige label.

Reception

Richie Unterberger, in his review for Allmusic, says "Despite the title, this actually leans considerably further to the jazz side of Witherspoon's muse than the blues one... Witherspoon's one of the masters of closing-time bluesy jazz, and he doesn't let anyone down on that account on this relaxed session".
