HOODOO MAN BLUES to be repackaged with unreleased tracks!! 

Junior Wells’ 1965 album is getting a makeover with a new deluxe digipak look with MANY never issued 

vintage pictures and A NEVER BEFORE RELEASED SONG. More details next issue! 

On an interesting, related sad note - Jack Myers, bassist on this timeless classic recording and many 

others (Otis Rush, Big Walter, Charlie Musselwhite) recently passed away in Milwaukee, aged 74. I had no 

idea he was still around!! The blues obituary section has been very busy lately with the recent passings of 

piano legend Pinetop Perkins (who had just recorded in Delmark’s Riverside studio last year with Willie “Big 

Eyes” Smith,) Mississippi juke joint legend Big Jack Johnson, unsung Chicago guitarists/singers Lacy Gibson 

(Check out Delmark’s “Crying For My Baby”) & L.V. Banks; famed record men, Harlem’s Bobby Robinson 

and Houston’s Huey “The Crazy Cajun” Meaux; along with DJ, the doorman at Rosa’s, who helped to make 

it’s billing as “Chicago’s friendliest blues lounge” a true statement. 

TWO NEW DELMARK BLUES ALBUMS JUST RECORDED!! Sharon Lewis recorded her Delmark 

debut CD in our Riverside Studio on May 23 & 24. She is accompanied by Bruce James, guitar, Roosevelt 

Purifoy, piano, Hammond B3 organ and Fender Rhodes; Melvin Smith, bass; Tony Dale, drums. It features 

5 brand new original Sharon Lewis songs and her own unique interpretations of covers like Van Morrison's 

"Crazy Love". A new exciting young singer/songwriter/guitarist/bandleader on the Chicago blues scene is 

Toronzo Cannon. He just recorded his new Delmark debut CD in Riverside Studio also with many new 

original songs. Both CDs will be out this year. 

We also want to send out our condolences to friends and family of the wildly talented jazz violinist Billy 

Bang who passed away too early at the age of 63. Billy recorded 4 Delmark CDs with Kahil El’ Zabar, 

including our very first DVD from ‘04, Live at the River East Art Center - DVD 1566) There will be a tribute 

to Mr. Bang at the upcoming VISION Fest 16 in NYC in June, where vibraphone star(licker) Jason 

Adasiewicz will be also performing in a duo with Peter Brotzmann. 

Demetria Taylor, the newest star singer on Chicago’s competitive blues scene celebrated her recording 

debut as a leader, Delmark’s Bad Girl, at B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted. The late, great Eddie Taylor, Sr.’s youngest 

daughter has a style rooted in the vein of KoKo Taylor, but adds her own unique brand of forward-looking 

blues. Special guests Billy Branch, Eddie Shaw, Big Time Sarah, and Eddie Taylor, Jr add a ton of feeling 

to this much anticipated new release! 

Also be on the look-out for CD release parties for blues/soul singer/guitarist Quintus McCormick’s new 

one, Put it On Me, and jazz flutist supreme Nicole Mitchell’s quartet, Awakening. Quintus’ follow-up to his 

hit Delmark debut, Hey Jodie, is even better- you’re gonna be blown away by his diverse songwriting and 

singing. We just heard the “great for her, not good for us” news that Nicole Mitchell is getting married and 

moving to Southern California. Congrats Nicole, we will miss you and your immense talent and your kind and 

generous spirit! 

Special upcoming Delmark related shows- Chicago Blues Fest is coming! Dave Specter’s popular club 

in Evanston, S.P.A.C.E is putting on 3 killer Blues Fest shows - Wed June 8th will be Dave Specter’s 

Adventures in Guitar with Rockin’ Johnny Burgin, two of the most tasteful guitarists ever! Opening act will 

be Rick Simcox & the ToneQuesters, who just recorded at Delmark’s Riverside Studio. The next night will 

be a triple billing of West Side Blues Guitar legends Jimmy Dawkins, Jody Williams, and Billy Flynn called 

BLISTERSTRING, named after the famed Dawkins’ Delmark CD from the mid ‘70’s (which also happened to 

be the last session recorded at the famed Chess studio). The Sat night show will be a Pinetop Perkins tribute 

with Howlin’ Wolf’s guitarist, Hubert Sumlin and more. 

Delmark performing stars at the Chicago Blues Fest are Rockin’ Johnny (with Smiley Tillman and Mary 

Lane,) Nora Jean Bruso (featured on the recently released Jimmy Dawkins’ Leric Story,) Willie Buck (with 

Gorgeous George Stancell,) Dave Specter with the ageless funky blues master Jimmy Johnson, Carl 

Weathersby (of Mississippi Heat), Jimmy Burns, and more!

(bass), Eddie Shaw (sax), Buddy Guy (5 awards!), and nominees Zora Young (Koko Taylor traditional 

blues), Tail Dragger (DVD of the year), and Junior Wells-Live in Boston & Jimmy Dawkins- Leric Records 

Story (Historical Release). I couldn’t make it down there this year due to “New Daddy Duty” but the one and 

only Tail Dragger (and Grana’ Louise & Zora Young) told me they had a great time, even though these 

supreme entertainers didn’t perform or win. Tail Dragger will be making new lifelong fans in November at the 

prestigious Lucerne Blues Fest in Switzerland with Bob Corritore and also at the upcoming Waterfront 4th of 

July Blues Fest in Portland, along with Demetria Taylor, Zora Young, and Gloria Thompson-Rodgers in

who recently celebrated with performances at the Jazz Showcase.

Liner Notes for Quintus McCormick Blues Band Put It On Me! 

Quintus McCormick’s acclaimed Delmark debut from 2009 Hey Jodie! 

was one of the best soul-blues albums of the new millennium’s first decade. 

Put It on Me! is an apt title for this diverse collection of 14 fresh Quintus 

originals. Fans rightfully expect, at the least, an equivalent follow up to a 

successful debut. But Quintus has exceeded the promise of Hey Jodie! in 

every facet - singing, playing, and writing - not an easy thing to do, 

especially in less than two years, even for a college trained musician like 

Quintus who scored his first hit at age 51. With impeccably supple support 

by his working band - John Chorney - a keyboard star in the making - and 

the eloquent, elastic rhythm section of bassist Vic Jackson and drummer 

Jeremiah Thomas who provide the indispensable versatility for Quintus’ 

musical palate, Quintus put it on himself to surpass his auspicious debut. 

The clarity of purpose demonstrated by Quintus and his musical cohorts 

exudes all that is genuine in the best music: passion, poise, and panache. 

Except for some gospel-fueled transcendence with the gently swaying 

“Hallelujah” that closes the set on a note of gratitude, the album’s twin 

streams of inspiration are tough urban blues and silky, ebullient Windy City 

soul. Quintus examines the vicissitudes of modern romance from a variety 

of angles. On the blues side there’s the bracing irony of the hard rocking 

Jimmy Reed-like “You Just Using Me” (“...like I’m using you”), a blues-bump 

of reassurance reminiscent of Z.Z. Hill with “I Got It Babe”; more irony with 

the smoldering “The Blues Has Been Good to Me,” an epiphany recognizing 

that, in the end, all experience is positive; a jagged boogie grinder of postbreak-up 

confusion and emotional paralysis, “Don’t Know What to Do”; a 

sinewy shuffle in praise of a special lady, “Sadie”; the funky title track that 

extols his determination and resolve in romantic matters; and two deep slow 

blues: “How Quick We Forget,” evocative of Ray Charles’ “Drown in My Own 

Tears” but with the added touch of Quintus’ snarling, aggressive stringbending, 

his fiercest of the set, and a plaintive all points bulletin on a MIA 

Personnel: Quintus McCormick, vocals, guitar 

John Chorney, keyboards 

Vick Jackson, bass 

Jeremiah Thomas, drums 

Billy Branch, harmonica (1, 6, 8) 

lover, “Lady Blue,” with flickering fills and jazzy chords 

suggestive of T-Bone Walker. The disparity in his playing on 

these two tracks is indicative of Quintus’ broadly evolving style. 

The languorous “Change” may be the album’s most powerful 

slow tune - a five year chronicle of inertia, ennui, and despair 

infused with weary vocals and trenchant licks - an engrossing 

dirge that has more than one possible interpretation. Before his 

move to Chicago in the late ’70s, Quintus lived in Detroit. 

Although he was initially enamored of rock, the influence of 

Motown had to have been pervasive while growing up in 

Detroit; however, Quintus’ dual muses of soul are Earth, Wind, 

and Fire’s infectious amalgam of funk, jazz, and adult pop 

(“Say Lover” and “Talk Baby”) and the bright and brassy 

sophisticated soul of Tyrone Davis (“Loveland” and “Same Old 

Feeling”). Such an expanse of styles requires a skilled vocalist 

and Quintus is up to the task with his distinctively fluid range 

that smoothly goes from a warm, sonorous croon to a cathartic 

wail to gritty testifying. Quintus is a beacon of hope for the 

future and a major player on the durable soul-blues scene 

which traces its origins back to the 1960s when prominent 

Chicago artists like Junior Wells, Magic Sam, and James 

Cotton added soul to their live repertoires even though in the 

years to come a number of notable soul-blues albums would 

sadly slip through the cracks. With only two albums to his 

credit, Quintus McCormick’s maturity, confidence, conviction, 

and triple-threat talent make him one of contemporary 

Chicago’s brightest stars.

BLISTERSTRING! 

Chicago Blues Guitar Summit with Jimmy Dawkins, 

Jody Williams, & Billy Flynn 

Thurs June 9 at S.P.A.C.E. in Evanston 

3 world-renowned Chicago Blues guitarists in one night. Jody Williams and 

Jimmy Dawkins are two of the main architects and masters of the famed, 

Chicago West Side sound that features that wild and eerie, minor key guitar 

that has influenced so many. Billy Flynn is the torchbearer of that sound and 

is the glue to countless blues bands today and has an encyclopedic blues mind 

and diverse repertoire. He has been backing Jody and Jimmy for years, and 

knows their unique styles like no other. 

Jody Williams - Jody’s impressive guitar can be heard on many ‘50’s/’60’s 

Chess recordings with Bo Diddley, Billy Boy Arnold, Howlin’ Wolf, including his 

own instrumental masterpieces, “Lucky Lou!” & “Moaning For Molasses”. 

Jimmy Dawkins - Dawkins has one of the most distinctive guitar sounds of all 

- a heavy, dark, slashing sound that is like no other. He has many influential 

recordings in his long career, including the killer late ‘60/early ‘70 albums on 

Delmark Records: Fast Fingers, All For Business (with Otis Rush,) and 

Blisterstring. 

Billy Flynn - Flynn has led his own band since the 80’s in Wisconsin and 

Chicago and can be found making so many bands better. He currently is the 

lead guitarist with countless bands, including Kim Wilson of the Fabulous 

Thunderbirds, the Cash Box Kings, and the Special 20’s. He was the guitarist 

creating the famous Chess sound in the popular recent movie on Chess 

Records, Cadillac Records. He can also break out a mean blues mandolin, 

harp, and sitar!! 

- Kevin Johnson 

CLASSIC REACTION 

Jimmy Dawkins - Blisterstring - Delmark 641 - $14.99 CD 

“Dawkins and his band, featuring Jimmy Johnson on second 

guitar, were the epitome of the tough Chicago blues sound of the 

70s. and this album catches them at their grinding best.” 

-Viintage Guitar Magazine 

“Dawkins sings with as much passion here as on any recording 

he ever made, and the band is as good as he ever had with 

plenty of space for Dawkins’ gritty, trebly guitar.” -Jazz & Blues 

“Blisterstring is just that. If the world were a just place, Dawkins 

would be a star. Instead, he remains well-respected but outside 

the limelight of say a Buddy Guy or Luther Allison. What makes 

Dawkins special is his guitar work. Dawkins is one of the 

grittiest blues guitarists around. His rough, raw style helped 

define the West Side Chicago 

sound. Dawkins also is a 

strong songwriter. Blistertring 

is best when Dawkins is 

playing originals such as “She 

Got the Blues Too,” “Sea of 

Luv” and the outstanding 

“Welfare Line.”...Blisterstring 

was the last blues recording at 

the Chess studios...it remains 

a strong testament to the 

studio.”

Liner Notes for Demetria Taylor Bad Girl 

Everything I do, I do for my mom and my dad.” 

Demetria Taylor is sitting at a table in Blue Chicago, the downtown 

club where in about an hour she and her band will be firing out her 

unique brand of Chicago-bred, forward-looking blues –“blues with a 

Millennium sound,” as she describes it– for a Wednesday night crowd. 

Many of the people who’ll be dancing and partying to Demetria’s music 

tonight probably know the Taylor name largely because of Demetria’s 

late father, the fabled guitarist Eddie Taylor, who helped craft the Jimmy 

Reed sound in the ‘50s and ‘60s and also recorded several now-classic 

sides of his own. And, in fact, she has recast one of her father’s songs, 

“Bad Boy,” in her own image, to serve as the title track for her debut CD 

on Delmark. 

But as her band sets up on the bandstand and vintage Muddy Waters 

begins to blast out from the house speakers, Demetria makes it clear 

that although she reveres the Chicago blues tradition, she is an 

independent-minded woman determined to forge her own sound in a 

field too often associated with “moldy-fig” purism. Her father and her 

mother, vocalist Lee Vera Taylor, groomed her to be both true to her roots 

and unwavering in her ambitions. “I’m out here right now because of my 

mom and dad,” she affirms again. “There’s never a time I get on stage 

when I don’t talk to God and say, ‘Well, this is for you, Mom and Dad.’

Because I feel like they’re the ones who left this legacy for 

all of us. My mom always told me, ‘It’s in you, but you got 

to find it. You got to find yourself. You can sing; you just 

gotta bring it out.’” 

“But I want to keep going,” she continues. “I want to take 

my father and everything else I know, and take it and do it 

my way. “ 

Her attitude is the result of growing up in an environment 

where music from multiple generations and genres 

coexisted in joyful harmony. She lent her own voice to that 

harmony early on. “I always have loved to sing,” she says. 

“I used to be a little girl running around the house: ‘We 

gonna pitch a Wang Dang Doodle all night long!’ I used to 

see [my father] on album covers and see him on videos 

and different stuff. I remember [blues legends] Eddie 

Shaw, Floyd Jones, Little Wolf, Johnny Littlejohn, 

Sunnyland Slim, people like that coming around the house; 

my father used to sit around and tell stories of when he was 

coming up. When he passed away [on Christmas Day, 

1985] I was a little girl, but I can remember bits and pieces 

of things. 

“I was into jazz and blues: people like Koko Taylor, Bessie 

Smith, Big Mama Thornton, Eddie Shaw, Howlin’ Wolf, just a lot of 

musicians I grew up listening to. Lena Horne, Dionne Warwick 

sometimes, Anita Baker. And a little bit of rock – Jimi Hendrix. Michael 

Jackson, Janet Jackson. As I got older, I just felt like that stuff started 

getting tired, boring to me. I just wanted to do something different, so I 

started coming to the blues clubs.” 

By this time, Demetria’s older brothers, Tim and Larry, had 

established themselves as drummers on Chicago’s West Side circuit. 

Demetria herself played drums for quite a few years, but after being 

slowed down by carpal tunnel syndrome in her hands, she started to 

focus more on singing. Her sister Edna, who now sings gospel, also 

performed on occasion, and her brother Eddie Taylor Jr. was honing a 

guitar style modeled closely on that of his world-famous father. “Every 

last one of my mom’s kids can do something,” says Demetria with pride. 

“All my mom’s kids are very creative, and bright and smart.” 

Larry and Eddie Jr. have since recorded well-received CDs of their 

own; Tim travels the world laying down the rhythm for veteran 

saxophonist and ex-Howlin’ Wolf sideman Eddie Shaw. Their success 

has encouraged Demetria (“I wanted to do it, too, to let everybody know 

what I can do”); however, she also knew that she needed to affirm her 

own musical identity by striking a balance between roots and innovation. 

In that spirit, she has crafted a CD that both pays homage and serves 

as a declaration of independence. “Every song I’ve done,” she avers, 

“I’ve done it in honor of the people I was raised up on. I dedicate my first 

CD to all of them. I love the traditional blues. But I want to go other 

places with my blues. I want to do the Chicago sound, but I want to do 

it in my own way.” 

Thus she plants her stamp on tributes to Koko Taylor (“Voodoo 

Woman” and the anthemic “Wang Dang Doodle,” featuring a guest 

appearance by veteran Chicago blues chanteuse Big Time Sarah, who 

also weighs in on the Willie Dixon/Howlin’ Wolf perennial “Little Red 

Rooster”) and Magic Sam (“All Your Love”); “When You Leave, Don’t 

Take Nothing” (in honor of Chicago vocalist Artie “Blues Boy” White); the 

title song, a remake of her father’s 1955 recording “Bad Boy,” which 

Demetria says moved her so deeply that she cried as she recorded it; 

Luther Allison’s deep-blues ballad “Cherry Red Wine;” and “Big Boss 

Man,” originally recorded by her father’s legendary partner Jimmy Reed. 

The opening medley is a dual tribute to Willie Dixon and –yet again– 

Demetria’s idol, the late Queen Koko. 

But these tracks, Demetria emphasizes, are merely the beginning of 

her musical journey. “When I do my next CD,” she enthuses, “I want to 

do all originals. I want to let people know that I got different styles, I’m 

just not just a lump-de-lump girl, and try to develop something that 

people can know me for who I am. I’m here, I’m ready. I’m ready to go 

out there and just let the world know what I can do.”

clean feed 

In honor of Clean Feed’s 10-year anniversary, many of their 

Chicago-centric titles are on sale for $10.99 (Unless otherwise marked, thru 7/31/11) 

Portugal’s Clean Feed label is celebrating their tenth anniversary this year; quite the milestone for any label, let alone one dedicated to releasing contemporary jazz. Since its 

inception, Clean Feed has become synonymous with quality, not only in music but in packaging, something of a rarity these days as music has become yet another disposable 

commodity. Like our own venerable independent jazz record label, Clean Feed can count many Chicagoans among their roster of international talent. Living legend Anthony 

Braxton’s Duets 1995 (CF079) finds the saxophonist in a duo with bassist Joe Fonda playing original compositions as well as some standards, showcasing Braxton's truly 

unique take on the tradition. Chicago institution Ken Vandermark has released two trio records on Clean Feed, Rebus (CF083) with guitarist Joe Morris and Luther Gray on 

drums and Triple Play (019) featuring the stellar rhythm section of Nate McBride (bass) and Curt Newton (drums). This rhythm section is reprised on Free Advice (CF098) and 

joined by the exceptional keyboardist Pandelis Karayorgis. In addition to known players on the modern jazz/improvised music scene, Clean Feed has the proud distinction of 

putting out many titles by emerging talents. The Flatlands Collective's "Maatjes" (CF127), a project of Amsterdam's Jorrit Dijkstra, features many Chicago luminaries including 

Jason Roebke, Frank Rosaly, James Falzone, Fred Longberg-Holm and Jeb Bishop. Bishop can also be heard on Pluto Junkyard (CF141) a collective of New Orleans and 

Chicago improvisers (known as the Lucky 7s), and on Lucky 7 tenorman Keefe Jackson’s debut as a leader, Seeing You See (CF176). Matt Bauder’s 2010 release ADayIn 

Pictures (CF210) was an artistic and critical high point from a saxophonist of exceptional skill and promise. Labels like Clean Feed are an invaluable part of a thriving music 

community and now, perhaps more than ever, it’s essential to support independent labels as they continue to support independent music.

MAXWELL STREET MARKET 

R.T. EDWARDS 

At the turn of the last century, the Maxwell Street 

Market was not only the largest open-air market 

in the country, it was an immigrant gateway and 

economic hub for those looking to make deals and 

find bargains on clothing, tools, produce, cars or anything 

needed for everyday life. In the 1930s and 40s, 

the Maxwell Street Market became a mecca for country 

blues musicians from Mississippi being heard 

playing street corners by vast crowds of multi-cultural 

shoppers. Because the high volume of street noise 

made it difficult for the musician to be heard on their 

acoustic instruments, they started “plugging in”. The 

electric urban sounds combined with the deep-rooted 

acoustic Delta traditions helped make Maxwell Street 

the “Birthplace of Electric Chicago Blues”. Among 

those who contributed to these new amplified sounds 

were Little Walter, Robert Nighthawk, Blind Arvella 

Gray, Muddy Waters, Jimmie Rogers, Johnny Young, 

John Wrencher, Honeyboy Edwards, and Jimmie Lee 

Robinson. By the 1960s, younger musicians like harpist 

Paul Butterfield and guitarist Michael Bloomfield 

could be found playing on Maxwell Street. Butterfield 

and Bloomfield would later go on to form the electrifying 

Blues / Rock unit, The Paul Butterfield Blues 

Band.An abundance of amazingly talented musicians 

came out of Maxwell Street in its heyday. Their recordings 

leave a rich document of one of the most exciting 

times in Blues history.

GREGG ALLMAN 

Low Country Blues (ROUNDER 2215) 

Gregory Lenoir Allman was born in Nashville, 

Tennessee on December 8th, 1947. Gregg was the 

youngest of two children from Willis and Geraldine 

Allman. In 1949 Willis became a lieutenant in the 

army and moved the family to Fort Story, Virginia. On 

a visit to Norfolk, the day after Christmas, Willis 

Allman was shot and killed while being robbed at gun 

point. Geraldine, now a widow, took young Gregg and 

his one year older brother Duane, and moved in with 

Willis’s parents in Nashville, Tennessee. Geraldine 

found work was hard to find, but eventually landed a 

job as a secretary in an auto parts shop. Geraldine 

realized she would need more money to raise Gregg 

and Duane on her own and decided to go to college 

to become a CPA. Using Willis’s military benefits, 

Geraldine went to college and sent Gregg and Duane 

to military school, while getting a break on tuition for 

the boys because their father had been killed while in 

the army. After graduating from college in 1957, 

Geraldine then moved the family to Daytona Beach, 

Florida. In 1959, while Gregg and Duane were staying 

with their grandparents in Nashville, Gregg befriended 

a neighbor by the name of Jimmy Banes, who 

happened to be playing guitar on his front porch. 

Gregg was enthralled by Jimmy and his guitar playing, 

and asked Jimmy to teach him how to play. 

Jimmy taught Gregg everything he knew on the instrument 

and that’s when Gregg got, “The Fever” as he 

says. Gregg, just 11 years of age, saved up enough 

money on a paper route to buy his first guitar, a Sears 

Silvertone. Gregg took a few lessons and taught himself 

how to play from a Mel Bay guitar handbook. It 

wasn’t long after this that Duane got,“The Fever” himself 

and wanted to play guitar as well. It was those 

summer visits to Nashville that Gregg and Duane 

began their musical journey. 

The boys’ grandma would take them to the Grand 

Ole Opry and Rhythm & Blues Revues. After Gregg 

and Duane took up the guitar, it was one show in particular 

that really stirred their souls. That show was a 

R&B Revue that featured Otis Redding, Patti LaBelle, 

Jackie Wilson and B.B.King. Soon Gregg and Duane 

would become infatuated by the sounds of Howlin’ 

Wolf, Bobby Bland and Ray Charles to name a few. In 

1960 Gregg met Floyd Miles, whom was a singer in a 

group called, The Untils and the Houserockers. Duane 

also befriended Jim Shepley who also was the guitarist 

in the Houserockers. In 1962 Geraldine sent 

Gregg back to Tennessee for his sophomore year of 

high school, due to his love of playing music and his 

lack of school interest. Duane had already dropped 

out of high school the year before, to focus on playing 

his guitar. Gregg then returned to Daytona Beach 

in 1963. By 1964, Gregg and Duane formed their 

own band, The Escorts. By 1965 they were calling 

themselves The Allman Joys and were playing all over 

the south. Gregg was having second thoughts about 

playing music and had thoughts of becoming a dentist 

after graduating from high school. Gregg now 18 

yrs old, had a bigger problem to deal with, the draft. 

Duane was exempt from the draft because he was 

the oldest son and his father was deceased. To avoid 

the draft and going to Vietnam, Duane schemed up a 

plan for Gregg to shoot himself in the foot, thus getting 

a medical exempt from being drafted into the 

army. The evening before Gregg’s physical exam, 

Gregg and Duane would throw a, “Foot Shootin’ 

Party”. A few friends came over and Gregg had been 

drinking whiskey pretty heavily to get the nerve to pull 

the trigger. Gregg called the ambulance, shot more 

whiskey, and shot himself in the foot. The ambulance 

could be heard coming even before he pulled the 

trigger. The plan worked and Gregg avoided the draft. 

Soon after, The Allman Joys broke up and Gregg and 

Duane formed their new band, The Hour Glass. The 

Hour Glass was eventually signed to Liberty Records 

out of Los Angeles, California. It wasn’t long before 

The Hour Glass became the opening act for various 

bands at the Fillmore West and the Whiskey-A-Go-Go. 

Duane eventually became fed up with the west coast 

scene and he and Gregg headed back to Daytona 

Beach, FL. Gregg soon returned to Los Angeles to 

become a solo artist for Liberty Records. Duane went 

on to record with Wilson Pickett, Clarence Carter, John 

Hammond Jr. and many more R/B artist in Muscle 

Shoals, AL. In March of 1969, Gregg had enough of 

the California lifestyle and liberty Records. Gregg 

headed to Jacksonville, FL. at Duane’s request. 

Duane had been telling Gregg about his new band 

and wanted Gregg to be lead singer and organist. 

Gregg arrived in Jacksonville on March 26th and the 

newly formed Allman Brothers Band eventually went 

on to become one of the most influential bands in 

history. 42 years later and over 30 records to his name, 

Gregg has released, Low Country Blues, a twelvesong 

collection of Blues covers and one new song, 

“Just Another Rider” co-written by Warren Haynes.This 

CD features deep country Blues to big city style Blues 

songs, all sung in the richly passionate and soulful 

quality that Gregg is known for delivering. Highlights 

include Bobby Bland’s, “Blind Man,” Skip James’ 

“Devil got my woman” and Muddy Waters, “Cant Be 

Satisfied.” Allman also covers songs by Junior Wells, 

Magic Sam, Sleepy John Estes, B.B. King, Otis Rush 

and a few traditional country Blues numbers. I would 

argue that, Low Country Blues is the finest solo record 

Gregg has made to date.

QUINTUS McCORMICK BLUES BAND 

Put It On Me! (DELMARK CD 815) 

The reviews of Quintus’ first CD, Hey Jodie! (Delmark 801), were stunning. “...best studio debut of 2009 

and one of the best soul-blues albums of the past decade” —Blues Revue. “McCormick possesses a rich, 

soulful voice and an incredible versatility on guitar. At one moment he’s laying down an edgy blues-rock 

intro, and the next he’s shifting into funk mode with confidence and swagger” —Living Blues. With such a 

great debut CD one might wonder if his second Delmark CD could be as good. It is! Fourteen new original 

compositions include “You Just Using Me,” “I Got It Bad,” “Say Lover,” “How Quickly We Forget,” “Don’t Know 

What To Do,” “Same Old Feeling,” “Change,” “The Blues Has Been Good To Me,” “Sadie,” “Lady Blue,” and 

“I Got It Bad.” With special guest Billy Branch. CD: 0-38153-0815-2-2

With Billy Branch, Eddie Shaw, Big Time Sarah, Eddie Taylor Jr., Shun Kikuta, Roosevelt Purifoy, Greg 

McDaniel and Pookie Styx. Bad Girl is the debut CD by blues singer Demetria Taylor, daughter of the

also recorded as leader for VJ and had a minor hit with the song “Bad Boy” in 1955. Demetria revisits the 

song here as a tribute to her late father. But Demetria is not just riding pops’ coattails. Even though she 

just turned 38, Demetria won the B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted Blues Diva Contest 2010, has already performed 

three times at the Chicago Blues Festival and guested on two Eddie Taylor CDs. Eleven songs includes the 

rousing duet with Big Time Sarah on “Wang Dang Doodle,” “I’m A Woman/Hoochie Coochie Woman,” 

“All Your Love,” “Goin’ Back To Mississippi,” “When You Leave,” “Big Boss Man.” CD: 0-38153-0814-2-3

MISSISSIPPI 

STATE OF BLUES 

JRM PRICE

Beautiful full 

color! 

Mississippi: State of Blues is a new coffee-table book that offers, in the words of the authors, “a commentary 

on the state of the blues in the state of blues.” The 107 color photos by Ken Murphy include 

iconic scenes such as Dockery Plantation (the home of Charley Patton) and one of the three gravesites 

of Robert Johnson, but as the tile suggests, most are of the contemporary Mississippi blues scene. 

Accompanying the photos are a long introductory essay and extensive comments on each plate by 

Scott Barretta, the former editor of Living Blues magazine and a writer/researcher for the Mississippi 

Blues Trail. The trail now includes 130 markers, including one at the south end of Chicago’s Grant Park 

near the former site of the Illinois Central station. For more about the Trail visit www.msbluestrail.org. 

“In creating the book we tried to avoid the stereotypical imagery that you often see of Mississippi, such 

as black and white photos of an old bluesman sitting on the porch of a ramshackle shack,” says Barretta. 

“You might still find that, but we wanted to show what the contemporary scene actually looks like and that 

it’s considerably more complicated than people imagine. 

“For one thing, the recent interest in blues tourism has resulted in new festivals, the Blues Trail, and 

the B.B. King Museum and Delta Interpretive Center, which is a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art facility. 

“At the same time, though, the blues scene remains funky and resilient, with new venues and artists continually 

popping up. I think it’s easy for many people to think that the blues is ‘dying’ when older artists pass 

on and clubs disappear, but that’s been happening for a hundred years and the blues keeps rollin’ on.’

One of our customers was asking the other day about the jazz/blues 

scene on Wells Street in the 60’s. It got me thinking and remembering so 

I took a walk from Division to North avenue (south of Second City) on the 

street where a lot of 60’s jazz and blues history happened. The street has 

changed so much that the house numbers in this article may be only 

approximate. Hopefully they’ll help you understand the scene. 

Chicago author David Witter interviewed well-known blues 

photographer Peter Amft for an article on the evolution o Chicago’s Old 

Town. Of the 60s and 70s, Amft said “Old Town became a destination. I 

would see Janis Joplin dragging her guitar case down the street, Mama 

Cass on her way to Mother Blues, Mike Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield, 

who were from Chicago, were here. It was a bohemian atmosphere where 

you would see people with guitars and long hair, a place where you could 

fly your freak flag, a carnival that didn’t exist anywhere else.” 

Yes, it was a draw for folkies and beatniks, but its vibrant music scene 

attracted a much broader spectrum of music afficianados. 

The early and brief Wells Street blues scene occurred north of North.. 

I think the first club I remember was managed by some Roosevelt 

University students who were blues fans before that was hip and hired 

Curtis Jones to play piano. There was a licensing problem and Jones lost 

the gig and decided to move to Paris. That would have been about 1961. 

The next development: was a club at 1638 N. Wells that hadn’t done 

well with a “Gay 90’s” image. Bob Wetlauffer was the manager there. 

He had been previously tending bar at the Gate Of Horn. He featured Big 

Joe Williams and his 9-string blues. Charlie Musselwhite had just come to 

Chicago, was working at Jazz Record Mart, and would sit in with Joe on 

guitar. Then Mike Bloomfield started sitting in so Charlie switched to 

harmonica (I hadn’t known he played harp!). Paul Butterfield was the next 

sitter-in on harp — a band scene was developing! As he often did without 

notice, Joe left town suddenly and Paul was hired to put a band together 

at Big John’s. When Howling Wolf toured Europe with the American Folk 

Blues Festival in 1964, he left Sam Lay unemployed so he joined Paul’s 

band and, as they say, history was made. Butterfield and Co. made 

several trips to New York to record for Elektra. Someone told me the 

engineers didn’t want to mike the guitar and bass speakers so a third 

session was required to get the real Chicago sound. 

The first jazz that I noticed on Wells was Eddie Davis’ trad band with 

Jack “The Bear” Brown at Earl Pionke’s Old Town Gate at 1555 N. Wells. 

Davis’ band was on the first album recorded by Leon Kelert for his 

Blackbird label. Eddie’s now in charge of the Woody Allen band. You’ll 

see him in the movie Wild Man Blues that documented a European tour of 

Allen’s band. I believe Earl moved the Old Town past North Avenue 

across the street from Second City and switched to a folk music policy that 

gave the world the wonderful work of Steve Goodman and John Prine 

among others. 

In 1962, Little Brother Montgomery led a trad band at a club at 1321 

N. Wells owned by Mike Pierpaoli, called The Plugged Nickel. The band 

included Ted Butterman, tp; Peter Nyegaard, trombone; Bob Gorden, cl; 

Ransom Knowling, b; Booker T. Washington, dms. The club later brought 

in Woody Herman for a one-nighter which was so successful they changed 

their policy to modern jazz. Joe Segal did Monday night sessions and 

probably influenced their bookings which included Coleman Hawkins, 

Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Tony 

Williams and Wayne Shorter.Roy 

Eldridge and eventually Miles 

Davis, who recorded Miles 

Davis At The Plugged Nickel 

in December of 1965. The club 

lost its liquor license and closed 

in the early 70’s. 

Little Brother moved to a club 

at 1303 that encouraged its 

customers to beat on the tables 

with rubber-ended sticks they 

dispensed. It didn’t help the 

music and didn’t last long. 

14 

Wells Street In The ‘60s 

The Rising Moon Singers (a folk group recording for Mercury) 

had opened a club named after the group at 1305 N. Wells on New 

Years Eve in 1961. Bob Connolly was in the group, playing trad 

cornet. But the mob torched the place when the group declined 

certain management. 

Mother Blues was 

erected at the same 

location with a folk policy 

until Bob Wetlauffer was 

hired to run it for Lorraine 

Blue. Blues and Jazz 

were the policy then with 

most of the great names 

in blues playing there 

when they were in town 

both white and black, 

including Janis Joplin, 

Howlin’ Wolf, Otis Rush, 

etc. Delmark recorded 

J.B.Hutto there, Stompin’ 

At Mother Blues (778) in 

1972. 

Richard Harding, who had occasionally hired Big Joe Williams to 

play at a folk club on Sedgwick just west of the Wells strip, eventually 

moved Poor Richard’s next door to Mother Blues where he 

presented, among others, Big Joe and Sleepy John Estes. Ted 

Butterman had a Monday night gig with Nygaard, Kim Cusack, John 

Cooper, p; Bob Sundstrom, bjo; Mike Walbridge, tuba; Wayne Jones, 

dms, This may have been the first Quiet Night, which Harding later 

ran very successfully next to the Belmont “L” station.. The Wells club 

was a cozier little place well suited to country blues. 

Down the street was a jive band that included Tiny Davis who’d 

played trumpet with the International Sweethearts of Rhythm. I 

never got to hear Tiny play. I think it was a problem for her to exert 

herself. Could that have been Holstein’s or Somebody Else’s 

Troubles? 

A small club at 1335 was still open presenting a trio. We did a 

photo shoot of a Delmark drummer working there. 

Vee-Jay Records’ Ewart Abner opened the Brown Shoe on 

Wells, the site of the Paul Bunyan Restaurant. Howard Bednoe and 

another record promoter managed it. They had learned about record 

company’s tour support budgets - subsidizing tours by promising 

rock groups. The club’s appearances could be tied in with promoting 

the artist’s new albums. Joe Segal started doing Monday night 

sessions which eventually resulted in an abandonment of the rock 

policy in favor of Joe booking nationally renowned jazz acts. Six 

months later Joe opened his first Jazz Showcase in the basement 

club at the Happy Medium disco on Rush Street which was owned 

by the Marienthal’s who also had the London House and Mr. Kelly’s, 

I am not sure just when Judy Roberts’ Trio played at the Midas 

Touch, closer to North Avenue but she was a fixture for a long time. 

She may have been the first jazz on the strip. (She’s coming to the 

Jazz Showcase in August.) 

As was the case with Gaslight Square in St. Louis, there is a 

suspicion that the police were encouraged not to cover Wells Street 

too well so the crime rate went up. This would benefit the mob clubs 

on Rush Street, wouldn’t it? 

Did you know that in 1968 the city of Chicago passed an 

ordinance closing all the parks at 11 PM. Prior to that, people used 

to sleep in the park all night when it got really hot in summer, those 

days before widespread air conditioning. The law was passed just 

before the Democratic Convention of 1968. Some protesting kids 

camped out in Lincoln Park east of the Wells strip. I was on my way 

to a special Monday night concert at Mother Blues — the return of 

veteran trombonist Preston Jackson’s to the trad scene. I got caught 

up in the police rampage. Instead of dispersing the kids down wide 

LaSalle Street or Clark Street which were closer to the park, they 

penned them up on Wells, ran them up and down the street. Billy

clubs flailed against buildings if anyone tried to escape between the 

houses. We were herded along and visciously beaten from behind. As 

I crossed LaSalle to a volunteers’ medic station, a nurse’s face turned 

white. She bound me up then told me blood had been spurting out of the 

top of my head. At the hospital I got 6 stitches. I now feel bad about the 

nice old cop who, as an apology, offered me a ride to my apartment. “I’m 

not getting into any policeman’s car tonight!” 

I’ll never forget the look of relief on the police investigator’s face when I 

told him I didn’t have the badge number of the cop who hit me (from 

behind). But I think it was an occasional JRM customer whom I had 

spotted in the ranks earlier — anyway the guy never came back to the 

Jazz Record Mart. 

And that was about the beginning of the end of Wells Street as a 

blues and jazz scene. 

Toward the end of my recent walk, as I approached North I noticed 

Zanie’s Comedy Club still in business. It’s the last cultural institution 

other than Second City (north of North) left on Wells. They helped give 

birth to Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Lewis, and many others. The 

next day I read the obit of Zanie’s owner, Rich Uchwat, have resolved to 

go to Zanie’s more often. 

In Chicago, City Hall is notorious for opposing music bars. It took 

more than a year for one jazz spot to get a license (the owner ran it as a 

coffee house temporarily.) Let’s hope our new mayor Rham Emanuel 

will make this one of his many changes. 

Thanks to Bob Connolly, Wayne Jones, Joe Segal, the JRM staff, 

Carol van Tine, Susan Koester, Dave Witter, Ted Butterman, Plugged 

Nickel and other web-sites, and all the people I called trying to locate 

Peter Amft. (I’m sure many of our readers have reminiscences about 

their experiences on Wells - we’d love to hear from you).

Congratulations to Alligator Records 

On Their 40th 

Bruce Iglauer is celebrating the 40th year of his Alligator label. 

He’s got a lot to be proud of and I am proud to mention that he once 

worked at the Jazz Record Mart and Delmark Records. 

I think it was before Alligator that he did a lot of work getting 

Living Blues magazine started; he was one of the founding 

members and I am sure his enthusiasm helped the others put 

together the first American blues mag. 

He was blown away, as many were, by Hound Dog Taylor’s 

playing and singing and tried to get me to record him. Delmark was 

involved in some other projects and I just couldn’t fit it in so Bruce 

started his Alligator label. He continued with Delmark, often getting 

his work done in time to take off early on Friday to go on the road 

with Hound Dog. He was a master at publicity and promotion and 

it wasn’t long before he was very successfullly on his own. 

Now Alligator has a deep catalog of blues and soul music and a 

staff much larger than we have here at Delmark. How does he 

manage to keep Alligator going without a record shop to pick up the 

tab for the label? 

Congratulations, Bruce and best wished for the next 40 years!

Want to Learn About Historic Chicago Blues & Jazz? Get on the Bus. 

Chicago Detoursto depart from Jazz Record Mart every Saturday from June 11 through September 10. 

Chicago has been needing a tour to show off its 

incredible music history, and Chicago Detours 

has done exactly that. On June 11th, coinciding 

with Blues Festival, the interactive tour company 

is launching “Our Chicago Sound: Jazz, Blues 

& Beyond,” an exploration of the cultural history 

of Chicago music. The 

bus has video screens 

and a great speaker 

system for experiencing 

the actual music, 

and goes from Uptown 

to Bronzeville. The tour 

company advises that 

it is an “active tour,” because they do get off the 

bus for a brief walk around Uptown, and they go 

into the former Sunset Cafe/Grand Terrace, now 

Meyer Hardware, a landmark for Chicago jazz. 

Chicago Detours appears to have put an 

enormous amount of research into the tour, having 

interviewed various members of the music 

community as well as having dug through 

archives to come up with stories and information 

that you don't find on a typical tour. It’s not a 

checklist of spots and names from music history. 

The guide instead goes indepth 

into concepts of music 

history and how music has 

been a catalyst to both separate 

groups of people throughout 

Chicago history, as well as 

bring them together. This is 

the sort of tour experience 

that is both fun and entertaining, 

meaningful and thoughtprovoking. 

Jazz Record Mart serves 

as the meeting and end point 

for the tour (27 E. Illinois Street) 

Private groups can also reserve 

the tour. Reservations for public 

tours can be made by phone 

(312.350.1131) or online (chicagodetours.com). 

The launch is June 11th, and tours will run Saturdays 

through September 10th, the weekend after 

the Chicago Jazz Festival. Tours start at 10am and 

1:15pm, and last 2.5 hours. Reservations are 

required. Adult tickets are $70; students/seniors 

$65; kids under 12 $60. All tours include an 

interactive dynamic, multimedia presentation, 

Chicago Detours offers an interactive, educational approach to the tour. 

engaging commentary, and valuable extras. 

As a social venture, Chicago Detours guides 

do not take tips; rather they take donations for 

worthy causes, such as educational initiatives to 

give tours to local schools free of charge. For this 

tour, they have partnered with the Jazz Institute 

and Blues Camp to support their educational initiatives 

in addition to those of Chicago Detours.

A Look At Big Bill Broonzy 

On the occasion of the release of I Feel So Good: The Life & Times of 

Big Bill Broonzy by Bob Riesman ($27.50), Bob Koester shares his 

thoughts on Broonzy, the early blues recording business and the new book. 

Big Bill Broonzy was the central figure of blues in the late 30’s and 

early 40’s. His singing and guitar playing were but a part of his talent. I 

think of him primarily as a composer. “Key To The Highway” alone would 

place him in the Blues Hall of Fame. But there were hundreds of other 

tunes. Add to the tunes credited to Broonzy the other tunes credited to 

Jazz Gillum and Washboard Sam. Both of these excellent artists told me 

that he literally gave them nearly all the songs they recorded. (Bill took 

back “Key To The Highway” when he finally recorded it himself. 

The first thing I learned from the book was that Lester Melrose 

perhaps used a pianist on almost every session after 1935 because 

LeRoy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell’s partnership had been so 

successful. I buy that idea and am embarrassed that I didn’t think of it. 

To understand blues recording in Chicago in the late 30’s you have 

to recognize two guys: 

J.Mayo “Ink” Williams who worked for Decca as A&R man for black 

talent. He didn’t get to publish the songs because Decca had their own 

publishing house, which eventually acquired the holdings of the Melrose 

brothers. But he did encourage artists to record tunes he already had 

pub rights from his connections to Paramount, Black Patti and Vocallion 

prior to his stay at Decca. (One of these was Kokomo Blues aka Sweet 

Home Chicago.) The book has info on Mayo that I had not seen before. 

The other guy worked with the other two labels: RCA’s Bluebird 

And Brunswick’s Vocallion (later Columbia’s Okeh). Lester Melrose was 

the younger brother of Walter Melrose and the brothers had promoted 

most of the Chicago recordings of New Orleans jazz men in the 20’s : 

Jelly Roll Morton, New Orleans Rhythm Kings, Tiny Parham, King 

Oliver, Johnny Dodds, even Louis Armstrong’s early Okeh classics. A 

third brother, Frank Melrose (ahem, Delmark #245) played such great 

piano that he was thought to be a pseudonym for Jelly Roll Morton. 

Frank went along for the 1930 trips to record for ARC and should be 

considered as a possible accompanist along with Thomas Dorsey. The 

brothers split and Walter published college songs while Lester got into 

blues. 

Lester functioned as an unpaid talent scout. He found artists 

(probably with a lot of help from Broonzy), rehearsed them, usually at 

Tampa Red’s house; and was in the studio for the record dates. He 

wrote out the lead-sheets for bluesmen who couldn’t read or write music 

. I am quoted in the book as saying he earned his lion’s share of the 

royalties from the labels for each song on each pressing. Sheet music 

wasn’t the profit element in the blues biz that it was in pop or C&W. 

By the way, I am amazed that Broonzy’s deal was for only 25%. The 

other artists, and contracts I have seen almost always placed the 

author’s share at a third not a fourth. The only exception I know of is 

Arthur Crudup, whose estate ventually got a c.$100,00 settlement from 

Elvis’s use of some of his songs. 

Memphis Slim told me that Bill Broonzy was “the biggest liar” in blues 

history. In the earliest chapters the author faces this, discovering that 

Broonzy lied about his birth-date/place and even his name! I guess he’s 

right that it’s simply his story-telling syle. 

One of Bill’s lies, in his book, Big Bill’s Blues, with 

Yasnnick Bruygnoe was that he first heard a very old 

Sleepy John Estes when he worked a track-laying gang 

in his youth. Three problems: Broonzy never worked and 

Estes never sang on a track-laying gang, and Estes was 

approximately Bill’s age. This kept me from believing Big 

Joe Williams’ story that Estes was still living in 

Brownsville, TN. 

The book shows Broonzy and Melrose working with 

the indie labels: Paramount, Gennett and ARC (Banner, 

Melotone Perfect,etc.) in the 20’s and early 30’s, not 

approaching the majors until they developed their 35-cent 

Bluebird and Vocallion/Okeh brands. Broonzy, Melrose 

and the labels were an overnight success as the record 

business returned to normal, partly due to the popularity 

of juke boxes after the depths of the depression and, the 

book points out, the end of prohibition. 

16 

I am gratified that the author gives space to one of my favorite blues 

sessions: the State Street Boys. With Broonzy on violin and guitar, early 

Jazz Gillum, etc. followed by the State Street Swingers sessions which 

often featured Hamfats’ trumpeter Herb Morand. 

People who listen mainly to the blues accompaniment have accused 

Melrose’s productions of a sameness I never worried about that 

because to me the blues is about the poetry and the singing and good 

lyrics and good singing was where it was at. The accompanists worked 

well together so why should Melrose mess with something that works? 

I have always been anxious to hear more of that dependable sameness. 

I hadn’t made the connection that the author did between Melrose’s 

use of wind instruments on his records with the success of the Harlem 

Hamfats on Decca. (In spite of their name, this was Chicago’s first blues 

band: guys from New Orleans, Memphis and just out of high school in 

Chicago). The author later points out the connection between the 

Hamfats Weed Smoker’s Dream and Lil Green and Peggy Lee’s hit Why 

Don’t You Do Right? 

Riesman speaks of young white guitarist George Barnes replacing 

Broonzy for some sessions in Aurora in 1938. That was the year the 

union’s black local organized blues recording. There was also a local 

recording ban (Petrillo wasn’t yet head of the whole MU, only locally.) So 

some musicians got Aurora cards and recorded outside the Chicago 

local’s jurisdiction in Aurora. I always thought maybe Bill was allowed in 

the union but forbidden to record for some time, but perhaps he was 

replaced simply because he wasn’t yet in the union. This ban marked 

the end of Chicago as the secondary recording location, replaced by Los 

Angeles. 

I gotta tell how Ransom Knowling and Melrose got acquainted. 

Melrose put Ransom’s name on a recording contract when he used a 

non-union bassist which caused Ransom to be dunned for dues on the 

payment. He hit on Melrose who auditioned him and then used him on 

virtually every date he did until he retired c.1950. 

By the way, the white local organized C&W recording after the black 

local did their work o the blues. So C&W recording went on the road to 

Memphis, Dallas, San Antonio, etc. and never really returned to Chicago. 

I was surprised that the author didn’t poke a little fun at John 

Hammond when he introduced Bill at the famous Carnegie Hall concert 

“wearing his first pair of store-bought shoes”. Bill came to Chicago 

c.1920. 

There is extensive coverage of Bill’s touring Europe in the early 50’s. 

I was surprised that Horst Lippman was involved, handling the German 

concerts. He later started the wonderful American Folk-Blues Festival 

tours of all of Europe beginning in 1963, vastly expanding interest in the 

blues throughout Europe. 

Bill’s folk concerts, sponsored by People’s Music in Chicago and 

promoted by Rae Flerlage, who was later well-known for his blues and 

jazz photography, his appearances at the Blue Note with Studs Terkal et 

al in the Monday night series I Come For To Sing which led to the 

founding of the Old Town School of Folk Music (which now occupies a 

large ex-library building in our neighborhood and is building an evenlarger 

additional building across the street. 

I guess Bill felt Melrose had exploited him badly 

for it is notable that he rarely recorded his old 

Melrose-published compositions during his LP-era 

discography. His Mercury deal, after parting 

ways with Melrose, involved a 10” LP of folk songs, 

but I was much more appreciative of the now-rare 

12” LP on the last Emarcy record (quickly deleted 

with the rest of their 36000 series.) collecting the 

other sides he made for the R&B market. 

I never met Big Bill or heard him live. I wish I 

had moved to Chicago in 1957 instead of 1958 so I 

might have. Conversations with Ransom Knowling, 

other accompanists and fellow Melrose artists were 

casual. I wish they weren’t. 

But there’s more info on Big Bill, the Chicago 

blues scene, the folk scene,etc. than I could digest 

in the time I had before deadline. I admit to scanning 

but I will be totally digesting this must have book for 

anyone interested in the blues! - Bob Koester

Yes, There Are Still Live Blues on the South & West Side! 

Although the most popular Chicago Blues Clubs are predominantly 

tourist-driven North side clubs, like Buddy Guy’s Legends, Rosa’s, Blue 

Chicago, Kingston Mines, B.L.U.E.S., Nick’s, Shaw’s, etc., there are still 

some real deal taverns/clubs/halls on mostly the west and south side of 

Chicago that still feature live blues, mostly catering to the local 

neighborhood African-Americans. Yes, these authentic “blues lounges” 

have dwindled away to only a handful compared to what there used to 

be, and they are also often hard to find and hear about, not usually listed 

in local papers, websites, ads...even in this day of easier mass 

communication via the web and social media! Even the local free paper, 

the Chicago Reader, hardly has any Chicago blues listings these days (I 

have some Readers from the mid ‘70’s that are 3 pages full of blues 

clubs! ) 

Most devoted blues fans have known about two longtime-running 

“blues oases” on the south side: LEE’S UNLEADED BLUES and Artis’ 

Lounge. Lee’s Unleaded’s (7401 S. Chicago) long time owner, Stanley 

“Sarge” Davis recently passed away, but you can still find blues there 

every week (since the ‘70’s: used to be the Queen Bee Lounge!), 

including standout regular performers like guitarist Tre’ (L.V. Banks’ son) 

and the Blue Knights, and the house band, the Mighty World Band, led 

by guitarist Sir Walter Scott (of the famous Scott family, with brother, soul 

singer Howard Scott), and other soul/blues singers like Delores Scott, 

Shorty Mack, Super Percy, Sherman “Moody” Thomas, Grandmaster, 

Lady Kat, Mz. Peachez. Not to mention the always colorful characters 

sitting in, like the late Arkansas Bellyroller!. Keytarist/harpist, and popular 

singer Johnny Drummer & the Starliters were the house band for around 

15 years. 

Remarkably, Billy Branch & the Sons of Blues have been playing 

every Monday night at ARTIS’ LOUNGE (1249 E. 87th) for over 25 

years! That has to be some type of record for longest standing regular 

gigs in Chicago. Another long time running club is Linda’s Lounge (1044 

W. 51st) where you can catch Fantastic L-Roy and the Bulletproof Band. 

A recent popular blues club has been the WATER HOLE LOUNGE 

(1400 S. Western), where the fantastic singer Mary Lane and her 

daughter Lynn Lane throw down traditional blues every Friday, usually 

with Rockin’ Johnny’s guitar and the legendary drummer/blues historian 

Twist Turner. Bobby “Slim” James also performs there regularly. 

Rooster’s Palace (4501 W. Madison) sometimes has blues, and was the 

ghetto club where world-renowned singer Tail Dragger was found howlin’ 

and prowlin’ on Saturday nights, captured in the award winning Delmark 

DVD, Live at Rooster’s with Jimmy Dawkins & Rockin’ Johnny. We also 

can’t forget the famous Wallace’s Catfish Corner (2800 W. Madison), 

which usually has live blues on the weekends in the summer, featuring 

harpman, Cyrus Hayes and Lady Lee. 

Then there is GENO’S PLAYMATE LOUNGE (4239 W. Cermak) with 

live blues every Sunday night with Willie White or Shorty & the 

Magnificent R&B Band with June (J.M.) on guitar as the house bands, 

with many special guests like Otis Clay, Garland Green, Cicero Blake, 

Pat Smillie, Willie Buck, JoAnne Graham, Little Bobby Reynolds, Merv 

Murphy, Willie D, and more. This is the club where the much missed 

singer/barber Jesse Fortune died on stage a few years ago, in action, 

singing his heart out to his beloved fans! 

Two of the most underrated Chicago blues guitarists/singers around, 

Smilin’ Bobby and Elmore James, Jr alternate Sundays at the BIG O 

LOUNGE (5339 S. Halsted) and the KEYNOTE LOUNGE (1116 W. 63rd 

St) and the recently back on the scene wild guitar man Smiley Tillman 

has been playing all over town (often in Beverly at the End Zone Tap 

(10036 S. Western) and has been quite the talk of the Chicago blues 

world this past year, playing often with Rockin’ Johnny on 2nd guitar. 

The HOT CITY COCKTAIL LOUNGE is a place I had never heard of, 

but they have a website (hotcitylounge.com, 7432 S. Racine) and feature 

live soul/blues from Jo Jo Murray & the Top Flight Band, Shorty Mack, 

and more! 

In the Hyde Park/University of Chicago area, JIMMY’S WOODLAWN 

TAP (1172 E. 55th) has been the home for a great traditional Chicago 

blues jam on late Sunday afternoons with standout singer Willie Buck 

with Scott Dirks, Willie Greeson, Justin O’Brien, and Dave Waldman. 

Drummer/photographer Robert Pasenko (www.pasenko.com) has been 

holding down a great Thurs “Hot Dog” night jam at CATCHER’S INN 

(901 W. 35th near Sox Park) with many special guests like Chuck Crane, 

Floyd Wilson, Bobby Too Tuff, Felix Reyes, Sammy Fender, Toronzo 

Cannon, Ramblin’ Rose, Jeff Taylor, L.V. Banks, and more! 

Full disclosure: I don’t make it out to these clubs too often anymore 

(and some never!), even though I would love to! And by no means is this 

a complete list, and I would love to hear from folks about a special blues 

scene happening that you would love to share with us! You can contact 

me at Delmark Records anytime!

These seven (soon to be eight) Classic Blues Songs 

from the 1920s CDs contain some of the best—and 

hardest to find—pre-war blues songs ever recorded. 

In addition, these tracks were remastered from the 

finest known copies of each of the original 78 rpm 

records. The CDs were originally packaged with the “Classic Blues 

Artwork From The 1920s Calendars,” which reproduced the artwork 

promoting these songs when they were first released. The 

songs coincide with artwork from the 1920s which promoted 

them. On the inside booklet you’ll find miniature reproductions of 

each of the original ads. They are all part of a massive find of 

original 1920s Blues artwork, much of which had never been seen 

before. Each CD contains 15-18 songs and are ON SALE! 

Prices good through 7/31/11.

Dave Specter...will play the 

Petrillo Saturday at 6:00 pm 

"Specter crosses the line between modern 

blues and vintage jazz of the '40s, 50s, 

and '60s, returning to a musical philosophy 

in which the two idioms stood across from 

each other on quite a narrow street." 

- Neil Tesser 

Jimmy Burns...will be at the Miss. Juke Joint Sunday at 2:00 pm 

Jimmy Burns, born in 1943 on the Hilliard cotton 

plantation near the Delta town of Dublin, 

Mississippi, embodies that increasingly rare 

combination of blues roots deep enough to tap 

into ‘the real thing’, while still possessing the youth 

and vitality to present his music with plenty of life 

and real excitement. He honed his vocal skills 

singing with vocal groups in the ’50s, and over the 

years has perfected an appealingly melodic, 

vocal-inflected contemporary guitar style to 

complement the down-home picking he’d leanred 

in his youth. -Scott Dirks, from his liner notes 

for Leaving Here Walking 

Rockin’ Johnny will be at Front Porch Friday at 4:15 pm 

“Young guitar whizzes abound, but Johnny 

Burgin is one of the few who has truly found 

his own voice.” -Blues Access 

“To call Rockin' Johnny Burgin's approach to 

blues ‘traditionalist’ is to do him a disservice. 

True, his main influence is postwar Chicago 

blues, but Bugin isn't setting out to preserve 

another man's music. Instead he and his 

tight ensemble build upon their mastery of 

the nuances of this style, using it as a 

springboard for further explorations.” 

-Blues Revue 

Lonnie Brooks Petrillo Music Shell Sunday at 7:30pm 

Born Lee Baker, Jr. in Dubuisson, 

Louisiana in 1933, Lonnie began his 

career playing everything from rock ‘n 

roll to Country & Western in some of 

Chicago’s toughest clubs...His big break 

came in 1978, when Brooks introduced 4 

songs on Alligator Records’ Living 

Chicago Blues anthology. By then he 

had forged his own sound - a vibrant mix 

of rock ‘n toll, R&B, funky Cajun boogie, 

country twang & hard Chicago blues.

ITALIAN IMPORT LPs FROM MONK RECORDS. 

For vintage blues, you can’t go wrong with these beautiful 180g vinyl issues. 

CHARLEY PATTON, 

You're Gonna Need 

Somebody When You’re 

Dead (MONK 300) 

4LPs $119.99 

Featuring Patton’s 

recordings from 1929 to 

1934 all in one set. 

Includes 6 postcards, a poster and a booklet. 

Contains the 3 different volumes of the Electrically 

Recorded trilogy (Prayer Of Death, High Water 

Everywhere and Jesus Is A Dying-Bed Maker) plus a 

forth LP available only in this box. 

CHARLEY PATTON, Electrically Recorded: 

Prayer of Death (MONK 304) LP $23.99 

It was not only Patton’s mastery of the guitar and 

incredible vocal style that gained him popularity. His 

rock star-style showmanship and stage antics, made 

him the idol of music fans everywhere he played. 


Jesus is A Dying Bed Maker (MONK 308) LP $23.99 

12 more tunes from Patton’s 1929 recording sessions. 

Here he performs some of his finest spiritual 

blues, like the title track. One the most seminal 

blues artists of all time, this collection helps keep 

the legend alive. 


High Water Everywhere LP 

This compilation features the two-part “High Water 

Everywhere,” and “Devil Sent The Rain Blues,” making 

this second episode of Monk’s retrospective on 

Patton another must have. 


Moon Going Down $23.99 (MONK 311) 

The tracks found here feature another giant of the 

Delta blues: Willie Brown. Although Brown was an 

accomplished vocalist and his guitar player was second 

to none, he was perhaps known as a sideman, 

accompanying Robert Johnson, Son House and, as 

heard here, Charley Patton. 

BLIND WILLIE MCTELL, 

Scarey Day Blues 

(MONK 309) 2LP $32.99 

Despite his blindness, 

McTell was a talented 

musician since early 

childhood. He is credited 

with having created an 

entire blues sub genre by mixing the hard roots of the 

Delta style with the more refined East Coast style 

(Piedmont Blues). 

BLIND WILLIE MCTELL, Searching The Desert 

for the Blues (MONK 335) 2LP $32.99 

This 32-track collection of rare sides-originally 

released on Okeh (as Georgia Bill), Victor (as Hot 

Shot Willie) and Vocalion (as Blind Willie) finds McTell 

playing alongside another amazing Georgia blues guitarist, 

Curley Weaver, and backing two fine Atlanta 

blues singers Ruth (Mary) Willis and Ruby Glaze. 

BLIND LEMON 

JEFFERSON, IWantTo 

Be Like Jesus In My 

Heart (MONK 312) 

LP $23.99 

The epitome of a sort of 

“dark” blues, Henry “Blind 

Lemon” Jefferson lived a 

mere 35 years, during which time he became the 

quintessential bluesman, conjuring a personal mix of 

rural and urban blues, decrying the conditions of the 

sharecroppers and city slum dwellers alike. He actually 

got his start playing in brothels and barber 

shops, where he developed his theatrical vocal 

lament. Unfortunately this early genius of the blues 

allegedly met his premature demise by freezing to 

death in 1929 in Chicago. 

FURRY LEWIS, I Will 

Make Your Money Green 

(MONK 321) 2LP $32.99 

Furry Lewis began his 

recording career in 

1927 (his first session 

is found here) and his 

prowess on his instrument, 

along with his natural flair for storytelling, 

immediately set him apart from so many other 

struggling young bluesmen. These sides represent 

his best material, recorded at the end of the 

roaring twenties, when Lewis was a young man 

at the heighth of his abilities. 

BLIND BLAKE, That WIll Happen No More 

(MONK 331) LP $21.99 

After their success with Blind Lemon Jefferson, 

Chicago's Paramount was scouting for more male 

blues talent, and they found it in 1926 in a man 

called Blind Blake (1893-1933), a sophisticated 

guitar player who was the antithesis of Delta blues. 

No one had fingers as fast as Blind Blake. These 

recordings taken from 1927-28 are a collection of 

Blind Blake’s early material, showcasing the man 

at his musical peak. 

BLIND BLAKE, Back Biting Bee Blues 

(MONK 313) LP $23.99 

Blind Blake may have lived a short time, but his 

contributions were monumental. His astonishingly 

odd style made his riffs sound like a ragtime piano 

and his particular finger picking inspired many 

modern blues artists. 

TOMMY JOHNSON, Cool Drink of Water Blues 

(MONK 320) 2LP $32.99 

Tommy Johnson was one of the great early talents 

of the Delta Blues style. Recorded in Memphis and 

Wisconsin in 1928 and 1929, these 17 tracks represent 

Johnson's complete recorded works from 

those two years, and capture Johnson in his prime. 

There is also some lesser known material included 

here like, "Ridin Horse" and "Alcohol and Jake 

Blues", taken from what is believed to be the only 

remaining copy of the original 78! 

SON HOUSE AND OTHER GREAT DELTA BLUES 

SINGERS (MONK 328) 2LP $32.99 

This 24-track collection of historic Delta blues 

recordings kick off with Son House’s earliest recorded 

material. They include the original rare versions 

of “Walkin’ Blues” (later made famous by Robert 

Johnson) and “Death Letter Blues” (here called 

“My Black Mama Part II”). The remaining 17 tracks 

on this album are a chance for listeners to hear 

some lesser known Delta bluesmen, all contemporaries 

of Son House. 

MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS, 

Sitting on Top of the 

World (MONK 315) 

LP $23.99 

Formed in 1930 as a 

trio of guitar and fiddle 

music, the original lineup 

was composed of 

Lonnie, Sam and Armenter Chatmon, the latter best 

known as Bo Carter, who was also a solo star of 

the period. Their first single, “Sittin’ On Top of The 

World,” was their biggest success. It went on to 

become a standard country blues song covered 

by many artists of the caliber of Harry Belafonte, 

Bob Dylan and Cream. 

FRANK STOKES, Downtown Blues 

(MONK 316) LP $23.99 

This African American singer and guitar player got 

his start playing on the streets of Memphis around 

the turn of the century. His enormous repertoire 

of early folk, blues, old time country and popular 

music, along with his influence on local musicians 

has made many point to him as the true father 

of Memphis blues. Stokes recorded a number of 

sides for Paramount and Victor until his old time 

style began to lose popularity with the recordbuying 

public. 

BESSIE SMITH 

Them’s Graveyard 

Words (MONK 333) 

LP $21.99 

Bessie Smith was the 

greatest of all prewar 

blues singers, and perhaps 

the greatest female 

blues singer of all time, as these meticulously 

restored sides from the very apex of her career in 

1927 so divinely prove. In her short lifetime (she 

died in a car accident at age 42), she made close 

to 200 recordings, teaming up with just about every 

talented black musician of her day, including 

Clarence Williams, Charlie Green, Joe Smith, James 

P. Johnson, Louis Armstrong and Fletcher Henderson, 

to name just a few. The "Empress of the Blues" 

fought her way to the top of the recording industry 

to become the biggest selling and highest paid 

black recording artist of the roaring twenties. These 

recordings all made in New York City in 1927 

include her best known sides, including "Back Water 

Blues", "Nobody Knows You When You're Down 

And Out,” and "After You’ve Gone".

“As blues artists go J.B. Hutto is definitely

born out of Elmore James, transformed into an

basis of a distinctive driving style of blues and 

found an outlet in the Chicago blues clubs in 

the ’50s and ’60s.”

"The funky and often soul-drenched flavor of 

Johnson's music is always crisply new; and his 

'nuff-said guitar action, though of West Side 

origin, is uniquely Jimmy Johnson... His raw, 

musical honesty, voracious licks, soothing runs, 

and keenly-tuned vocals attest to the high 

standards of Jimmy Johnson's blues. This is one 

of his best!"

“The great Milton Campbell always renders the 

stylistic dividing line between blues and soul 

irrelevant. Performing for 2,000 Indiana jailbirds at 

the beginning of 1983, he acts out song lyrics with 

tremendously believable emotion, using his steelsturdy, 

low singing voice to plead for fair play and 

happiness in the midst of adversity.”
