Blues for Aficionados

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

This is going to be an excellent thread!

By the way: In early-67 (I think it was), a band I hadn't heard of came to play at The Continental in Santa Clara (a converted roller rink, complete with horrible acoustics) just off Highway 101. They were named The Steve Miller Blues Band, and had a rhythm guitar player who did no singing named Boz Scaggs. Their debut album hadn't yet been released.
