Big Mama Thornton was one of the most legendary rhythm and blues musicians of all time. She recorded the original versions of hit songs such as Hound Dog and Ball and Chain, and her legacy lives on to this day. This Gunther Kieser issue from March 1972 announced her appearance at Musikhalle in Hamburg, Germany along with a stellar lineup of Blues legends. Designer Gunther Kieser is best known for his 1969 Jimi Hendrix poster which was created for Hendrix's appearance in Germany just a few years prior. This is the first time we've offered this poster in our auction.
