Singer and guitar player Jeff Dale and harmonica player Jeff Stone were born and grew up in Chicago southside They were friends since childhood, exactly since they were seven years old Both listenned the same music and often they saw live shows by artists like Muddy Waters, Hound Dog Taylor, Howlin’ Wolf, JB Hutto or Koko Taylor, so you can easily imagine the musical background they could enjoy in their young years Their lives have always been involved with the blues, Dale played in the bands of Lowell Fulson, Pee Wee Crayton and Etta James and he also found his own group, while Stone managed legendary blues club Babe & Ricky’s Inn and he also backed Charlie Love or Reverend KM Williams Curiously their musical careers never met, until finally they have now matched up in this recording that includes eleven original Jeff Dale’s songs based on the stories told by one of his mentors and good friend, great Honeyboy Edwards In the album you will find Jeff Dale on guitar, cigar box and vocals while Jeff Stone blows harmonica Together they develop an acoustic, intimistic album, performed with an incredible complicity that drives them and all listeners to those years where both teens sat together to watch, enjoy, listen and learn from the historical bluesmen who lived there
