Kidney Stew Is Fine


Kidney Stew Is Fine is an album by the American saxophonist/vocalist Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson recorded in France in 1969, and originally released by the French Black & Blue label as Wee Baby Blues, before being re-released by the Delmark label in the United States.

Reception

AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated " the relatively brief set is the only recording that exists of Vinson, pianist Jay McShann, and guitarist T-Bone Walker playing together... Vinson, whether singing... or taking boppish alto solos, is the main star throughout this album, a date that helped launch Vinson's commercial comeback".
