VizzTone is proud to announce the October 17, 2025 release of Bob Corritore’s EARLY BLUES SESSIONS. These definitive recordings from 1984 to 2007 include remixed and previously unreleased tracks – powerful performances by legends including Lowell Fulson, Little Milton, Jimmy Rogers, Robert Lockwood, Sam Lay, Henry Gray, Pinetop Perkins, Bob Margolin, and others. This compilation showcases Bob Corritore‘s dedication to recording the real-deal blues by its originators. Most of the artists featured on this album are no longer with us, but their recordings will live on forever, and Bob Corritore was there to wrap his song-serving harmonica work and production around each of the tracks.

Bob always had his eye on the prize and took great artists into the studio whenever possible. Once he opened the Rhythm Room in 1991 he realized that there would be a pipeline of amazing artists coming through to play at his nightclub to perform. He took the opportunity not only to book them, but to offer them some additional work in the recording studio. Years later, the results of those efforts are here for us to celebrate. The results are a survey of the brilliance of the old-school style of blues — the blues legacy preserved by Bob Corritore with his caring, artful touch.

The single, available now, is Bob's previously unreleased 2002 studio collaboration with Little Milton, “I Wanna Be the One.” Who could have imagined that in the year 2025 we would be seeing an unreleased single by the legendary Little Milton! Leave it to Bob Corritore, who along with Milton masterminded this 2002 “back to the roots” session which includes veterans Henry Gray and Chico Chism. Milton wrote this beautiful song specifically for the session. If this were released in 1975 it would have been in all the jukeboxes in all the blues bars on the south side of Chicago!
