Eddie “Mr. Cleanhead” Vinson - “Mr. Cleanhead Steps Out” - Mercury 2031‑B

A tight, swinging instrumental showcase for Vinson’s bright, biting alto tone Strong jump‑blues rhythm section, pushing toward early R&B Horn lines show Vinson’s blend of jazz phrasing and blues attack A companion piece to the A‑side: where “Juice Head Baby” highlights his vocal persona, this flips the spotlight to his instrumental authority Captures Vinson’s transition from big‑band swing roots into the leaner, punchier postwar Mercury sound
