What you will find here is only Chicago blues in the pure sense of this word No soul, no funk, no rock, no hip-hop, no The son of legendary Eddie Taylor who, together with such great artists like Magic Sam, Mighty Joe Young, Otis Rush or Jimmy Dawkins among others, was one of the most outstanding names in the 60’s Chicago West Side blues scene, reveals himself as one of the best musicians of the XXIst Century Chicago sound Here he comes to continue his father saga with a bunch of excellent blues songs, played with an old time but very actual sound The cd includes fifteen blues coming from different musicians which, in Eddie Taylor Jr’s hands, become very personal and original songs He has chosen some of his father’s songs, together with versions of Hound Dog Taylor, Jimmy Rogers, Sugar Pie Desanto, Magic Sam, Jimmy Reed, Joe Liggins, Sonny Boy Williamson or Howlin’ Wolf, all them done with the intensity and passion of Chicago blues when it is played from the deepest part of the heart You will also find such great names like Harmonica Hinds, Johnny B Moore, Willie Kent or Detroit Jr on vocals and guitars
