We also had a track from the new album from James Armstrong and a version of an early hit for Johnnie Taylor newly out on a new survey of Little Milton's Malaco good works. Elvin Bishop tinkered around something by Dave Bartholomew and Fats Domino while keeping true to the spirit and the guilty pleasure on offer fell to the Sons of the Delta. TJ Fowler was suitably rambunctious in Detroit and two of the very finest blues shouters were on hand (Roy Brown and Jimmy Witherspoon) even if one was described as too blues for jazz and too jazz for blues. Ethel Waters was a lone standard bearer for classic blues women but I'm pretty sure we can redress the balance in short order on a show coming to a radio near you pretty soon.
Johnny Winter wasn't the only string wizard on show, check out what Blind Blake was doing on his Rag. It would have been Floyd Jones' birthday and our contingent of windy City players was complete with the Wolf, Junior Wells, Eddie Taylor and Jimmy Reed. Texan Pee wee Crayton was a star on the West Coast and our choice was a previously unissued take of an early hit on Modern records.
The new issue of Record Collector magazine reveals that Bernie Marsden ran a record shop until just recently, the interview also told us he is still looking for a Little Willie John single on King from 1961. Happy to oblige.
I promised a feature on the AFBF tour of 1964, that'll be coming in September. Meanwhile next Sunday celebrates birthdays for Buddy Guy and Robert Cray, until then take care of yourselves and take care of those that take care of you
