Recorded in New Orleans, June 1971. Ⓟ 1971 Sonet Productions Ltd.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snooks_Eaglin : 1960s and 1970s
From 1960 to 1963, Eaglin recorded for Imperial. He played electric guitar in sessions with backup from a band including James Booker on piano and Smokey Johnson on drums.
He recorded 26 tracks for Imperial (available on The Complete Imperial Recordings), many of which were songs written by Dave Bartholomew.
Unlike the Harry Oster recordings, these works on Imperial are New Orleans R&B in the style for which he is widely known today.
After Imperial, in 1964, he recorded alone at his home with a guitar for the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation; these recordings were released on the album I Blueskvarter 1964: Vol. 3.
For the remainder of the 1960s, he apparently made no recordings.
His next recorded work was for the Swedish label Sonet in 1971.
Another album, Down Yonder, with Ellis Marsalis on piano, was released in 1978.
Apart from his own work, Eaglin took part in recording sessions with Professor Longhair in 1971 and 1972 (released on the album Mardi Gras in Baton Rouge).
He also played guitar on the first album by the Wild Magnolias, recorded in 1973.
