Genuine and real Texas down-home blues musician, singer and harmonica player Gene Birdlegg Pittman pleasantly surprises us with an specially deep and intense album recorded live at Sala Clamores in Madrid, backed by some Spanish musicians Birdlegg cannot hide his big influences in on harp, all rooted in fifties style and, over all, in Sonny Boy Williamson, he pays homage with the song Eyesight To The Blind Pittman began his career playing with guys like Sonny Rhodes, Massala Talbert, Haskell ‘Cool Pope’ Sadler or Mississippi Johnny Waters who taught him all the secrets to catch and communicate blues to the people who crowded clubs, cafes and other joints of San Francisco Bay Area where the blues was played every night, but he also went regularly to different jam sessions that at that time took place in such popular clubs like Eli Mile High Club, Shalimar Club or the iconic Fifth Amedment, places where blues was breathed in every corner, something you can also breathe in this album, which becomes a good example of the talent of a singer and harmonica player who has the blues in his blood Certainly he is not backed by his friends the Moeller brothers, sax player is not Kaz Kazanoff and piano player is not a virtuoso, but undoubtedly all musicians who played with him gave all their enthusiasm and commitment to round up this risky project carried out by Jay Bee Rodriguez who becomes the true ‘alma mater’, working hard to bring him to Spain and also making possible this interesting album
