Eddie Boyd FIVE LONG YEARS Boyd(piano, organ, vocals), Buddy Guy(guitar), Jimmy Robinson(bass), Fred Below(drums), Big Mama Thornton(vocal, Hound Dog) Evidence 1994 Notes: "Eddie Boyd was born November 25, 1914 in Coahoma County, Mississippi and spent his childhood on the fabled Stovall's plantation in the heart of the Delta.... Boyd discovered his musical salvation when he journeyed overseas to co-headline the 1965 American Folk Blues Festival. During the historic European tour(produced by German promoters Horst Lippmann and fritz Raul), Boyd recorded the impressive contents of this disc in Hamburg and London, backed by three of the finest Chicago sidemen available. Fleet-fingered guitarist Buddy Guy, versatile bassist Jimmie lee Robinson, and crackling drummer Fred Below offer superb support as Boyd convincingly rolls through a virtual greatest hits program."

Charles Brown ALL MY LIFE Rounder / Bullseye Blues 1990 Notes: "Malcolm Rebennack (A.K.A. Dr. John), who does a duet with Charles on this record and lays down some ’tipico’ New Orleans organ and piano, is a longtime admirer. Back in 1972 he told me, "Charles is like Ben Webster on the tenor -- they both got air to spare." born: September 13, 1922, Texas city, TX died: January 21, 1999, Oakland, CA A Virus Called The Blues (as if covid is not enough) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfdHRSuQvuU&t=326s Early in the Morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cy9UeCuSzk Bad Bad Whiskey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6VYjlxK_30 Trouble Blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYt0V9JdwJ8 Cheers |
