Hunh!
Used - LP - BLS-6040
1970 US original. Glossy, VG+ vinyl. Tiny hole punch to bottom right corner. Hunh! finds Jimmy Witherspoon stretching beyond straight blues into a broader soul-jazz and funk-tinged palette. His voice—gravelly, seasoned, and rhythmically assured—remains the focal point, carrying equal parts grit and warmth.
The arrangements lean into early-’70s grooves, with tighter rhythm sections and a touch of contemporary sheen, yet Witherspoon never sounds out of place. He phrases with confidence, shaping each line with lived-in authority rather than flash.
For listeners familiar with his earlier big band and blues recordings, Hunh! offers an intriguing snapshot of evolution—rooted in tradition, but responsive to the era’s changing soundscape. A solid, groove-driven chapter in a long and respected career.

Mean Old Frisco
Used - LP - PR 7855
1970 purple label US reissue. Glossy, VG+ vinyl. Small indent to jacket mouth. Mean Old Frisco returns Jimmy Witherspoon to a blues-centered setting, pairing his weathered baritone with stripped-down, groove-conscious arrangements. The album leans into traditional structures—slow burners, mid-tempo shuffles, and smoky ballads—allowing Witherspoon’s phrasing to carry the emotional weight.
His delivery remains unhurried and authoritative, shaped by decades of performance. Rather than dramatics, he opts for nuance: a held note, a subtle growl, a conversational turn of phrase. The band supports with tight, no-frills accompaniment that keeps the focus squarely on the vocal performance.
For collectors of postwar blues vocalists, Mean Old Frisco stands as a solid, late-career statement—rooted, direct, and reflective of Witherspoon’s enduring command of the form.

Rockin' L.A.
New - LP - F-9660
Sealed, Hard To Find 1988 Original. Cut Corner. Featuring Teddy Edwards, Gerald Wiggins, John Clayton And Paul Humphrey. "This CD finds Jimmy Witherspoon at age 65 on one of his last fairly strong records before his voice began to really shrink and fade. Spoon, assisted on this live set by tenor saxophonist Teddy Edwards, pianist Gerald Wiggins, bassist John Clayton, and drummer Paul Humphrey, revives some of his hits, performs a pair of medleys, and emphasizes swinging blues and ballads. Highlights include "Sweet Lotus Blossom" (a standard whose authorship should not have been credited to Witherspoon), "Stormy Monday," and "I Want a Little Girl." Easily recommended to Jimmy Witherspoon fans." All Music Guide – Scott Yanow
