Growing up near Greenville, Mississippi, Eddie’s adolescent friends included a number of musicians who would one day become fellow Chicago bluesmen such as Little Milton Campbell, Left Hand Frank Craig, Johnny “Big Moose” Walker and L.V. Banks. Eddie and his close companion Oliver Sain were just two of the many blues and jazz horn players to come from Coleman High School. They joined other formally trained musicians in Greenville’s sophisticated, urban jump-blues bands, which featured four- and five-man horn sections. Eddie and Oliver made the rounds of the local nightclubs, schools, and dances, and often traveled through the Delta to play with bands such as Ike Turner’s and [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/720589-Eddie-Guitar-Slim-Jones]Guitar Slim[/url]’s.
