The New King of the Blues is an album by blues singer and harmonica player Buster Brown, originally released in 1962 on Fire Records and remastered and reissued here for 2024. This album followed the success of Brown's 1959 hit single "Fannie Mae," which had established him as a prominent figure in the blues scene. The New King of the Blues captures Brown's raw, energetic style, combining traditional blues with elements of rhythm and blues that appealed to a broad audience. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, all showcasing Brown's powerful vocal delivery and distinctive harmonica playing. Tracks like "John Henry" highlight his ability to infuse classic blues themes with a sense of urgency and excitement. The production, handled by Bobby Robinson, who was also the founder of Fire Records, gives the album a gritty, authentic sound that reflects the essence of early 1960s blues. The New King of the Blues was part of a wave of blues recordings that bridged the gap between traditional blues and the emerging R&B genre. While the album did not achieve the same level of commercial success as Brown's earlier singles, it remains a significant release in his discography, underscoring his role in the transition of blues into more mainstream popularity during that era. The album is a testament to Buster Brown's impact on the blues and his brief, yet memorable, presence in the music industry.
