Walter "Shakey" Horton--Martin Stone--Jessie Lewis--Jerome Arnold, Southern Comfort (London HA-K 8405) (1969).

From the notes: "'Southern Comfort' is the result of a spur of the moment idea in the minds of blues fanatics Peter Shertser and Ian Sippen, who seized the opportunity to record Chicago blues greats Walter 'Shakey' Horton, Jerome Arnold and Jesse C. Lewis, together with Martin Stone, one of England's most highly recognized blues guitarists and a former member of the Savoy Brown Blues band . . . OZ magazine, in its March 1969 issue, called this album one of the best blues albums."
