Powerful genuine deep blues performed with a high emotional passion It is really impressing to listen and enjoy with ‘Chief’ vocal qualities, a very interesting singer who usually works around Phoenix and California areas and other surrounding states Gilliame was born in 1925 and he got all his musical knowledge playing all over Arkansas and Louisiana As soon as you listen to his voice you will immediately discover his major influences come from Howlin’ Wolf The cd was recorded in four different sessions, where Gilliame was backed by very professional good musicians such as Rusty Zinn, Kirk Eli Fletcher, Buddy Reed, Louisiana Red Junior Watson or Kid Ramos on guitars, drummers Chico Chism or the amazing Richard ‘Chicago Beat’ Innes, piano player Tom Mahon or Bob Corritone who plays harp and produces the cd An splendid album, superb and essential for all traditional Chicago blues lovers
