Description:
For almost 60 years now, guitarist/vocalist Lil Joe Washington has been a defiantly creative blues maker. In the past few years, he has experienced a personal renaissance. With regular gigging and a few tours abroad, his sound has evloved into something truly unique a potent synthesis of the classic R&B of his youth and the hard blues realities of his later years. His piercing fretwork on gutbucket guitar and his weathered, wailing voice have grown ever more distinctive. This 13 track CD of mostly originals features pianist Nick Connolly, bassist Bill Campbell, rhythm guitarist Clarence Pierce, and drummer Willie Sampson. |
