Archibald: 'Ballin' With Archie'

John Broven, Blues Unlimited, October 1970

A quick examination of BLUES RECORDS (an invaluable research weapon, despite the occasional printing errors...) reveals that the man cut 13 sides for Imperial and his last session was way back, in 1952.

Total word count of piece: 723
