At that time Popa owned a small recording studio and asked Glen to work with him. From that moment on they started a strong friendship.<\/p>\n<p>These two albums follow the musical line we are used to find in Chubby\u2019s performing, that is no other than electrifying guitar solos based on energetic power-rock-blues developed with the usual quality this fantastic singer and guitarist treasures.<\/p>\n<p>As Popa Chubby mentions, he grew up listening to Jimi Hendrix, Cream or Led Zeppelin, musicians who always lived on the edge but, for him bluesmen like Howlin&#8217; Wolf or Muddy Waters also lived on the edge, because they didn\u2019t hesitate to shoot someone if it was necessary and even Little Walter always carried a gun in his pocket and wouldn\u2019t hesitate to use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer and guitar player Popa Chubby releases a double album for Gulf Coast Records, recorded live at G.
