An Introduction to Johnny Copeland is a satisfying compilation focusing on 16 of the Texas bluesman's rare sides waxed for independent labels in the '50s and '60s. Long before Copeland began releasing popular soul-blues on the Rounder label in the '80s and (albeit briefly) with Verve in the early '90s, he recorded umpteen regionally distributed singles. Sweat-drenched ballads alternated with gritty, greasy R&B workouts, usually augmented by a horn section and sounding very similar to what Junior Parker or Bobby &Blue& Bland were releasing at the time. Please note that this reissue includes the majority of cuts from Fuel 2000's Collection: Working Man's Blues issued in 2002, but for some reason three cuts were omitted: &Funny Feeling,& &It's My Own Tears That's Being Wasted,& and &I Got to Go Home.&
