The Return of Roosevelt Sykes is an album by blues musician Roosevelt Sykes recorded in 1960 and released on the Bluesville label.[1][2][3]

Reception[edit]

AllMusic[4]
The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings[5]

AllMusic reviewer Bill Dahl stated: "Sykes's lyrical images are as vivid and amusing as ever on this 1960 set, with titles like "Set the Meat Outdoors" and "Hangover" among its standouts. Other than drummer Jump Jackson, the quartet behind the pianist is pretty obscure, but they rock his boogies with a vengeance".[4] The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings considers the sound balance of the recording to be poor, favouring the guitar and, especially, the bass over Sykes’s piano, and says that Sykes does not sing as well as he usually did.[5]
