Eddie Boyd - The Complete Recordings Vol. 1 1947-1950
Released: 7 August 2001
Label: Epm (France)
The title is rather misleading -- this is not Eddie Boyd's "complete recordings," but rather collects everything the artist recorded between 1947 and 1950. As such, this is not the place to find "Five Long Years" (see Vol 2) or any of the other late-night classics Boyd recorded in the 1950s. Rather, The Complete Recordings 1947-1950 collects the pianist's early recordings for RCA Victor, and what a fine showcase for Boyd's playing this release is. His piano playing dominates the proceedings, being forceful but showing unerring subtlety on many occasions. Boyd was also composing prolifically after the war, and all the selections on this disc are composed by the artist, such as the excellent "Blue Monday Blues" and "I'm Goin' Downtown."

Eddie Boyd - The Complete Recordings Vol. 2 1951-1953
Released : 4 May 2004
Label: Epm (France)
Mississippi-born Eddie Boyd recorded his key tracks for Chicago's Chess Records in the 1950s, but his output was anything but the typical Chicago blues piano material, opting instead for a kind of jazz blues hybrid that featured his down-to-my-last-dime late-night vocals. Boyd recorded initially for RCA Victor's Blue Bird imprint from 1947 through 1950 (the Blue Bird sides were collected on EPM's Complete Recordings: 1947-1950), and following one-off singles for Regan and Herald Records, he arranged his own session in 1951 for what would become his signature song, "Five Long Years." Boyd brought the master of "Five Long Years" to JOB Records, who promptly sold it to Parrot Records, who in turn passed it on to Chess Records, and after the song hit the R&B charts in 1952, Boyd signed a contract with Chess, producing several striking sides during a stormy stay with the label that finally ended in 1959. This set collects tracks from Boyd's first two years with Chess, the period in which he was arguably at his peak as a writer and performer, and the period on which his legacy ultimately rests. Included here are Boyd's exhausted-sounding masterpiece "Five Long Years," the equally desolate "24 Hours," and the mournful lament "Third Degree," all of which made the R&B charts.
