Dr. Ross - Boogie Disease

Isaiah Ike Ross (1925 � 1993) was a true one-man band, playing harmonica, acoustic guitar, bass drum, and hi-hat simultaneously. His music harkened back to the itinerant country-blues players during the early years of the 20th century. Left-handed, Ross played the guitar upside down with the treble string on top and the harmonica with the bass end on his right. He acquired the nickname �Doc� because he carried his harmonicas in a doctor�s medical bag. This collection of his music is from a series of sessions recorded in Memphis, TN between 1952 and 1954.
