piano player Pinetop Perkins, drummer Willie 'Big Eyes' Smith
and guitarist Hubert Sumlin, all Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf sidemen.
Sears, made by Kawai in Japan. He eventually made an endorsement deal and I think there may have even been a Hound Dog Taylor model. I used to have an electric Kawai. They have a unique sound.
in this track it's one of the very few times I've heard a traditional blues artist comment on the racial/social situation in the U.S.
also, he uses a flute which comes in about two thirds of the way thru the track
I've listened to lots and lots of traditional blues - I know I've never before heard a flute in one of those tracks
Otis Spann....................he was so great
It is brand new moon, since two men walked up there
Yes, we got a brand new moon, since two men they walked up there
But it's the same old world for us. babe, you know we ain't goin nowhere
They got all of that bread, just to send people into space
You know they got all of that bread, just to send people into space
But there's trouble there for us, baby we aint goin any place
I saw a flag on the moon, and I was just as proud as I could be
I saw a flag on the moon, and I was just as proud as I could be You know I love my country baby, but my country don't love me

I've posted this story a hundred times, but I wanted to call my first daughter Crow Jane and my wife wanted to call her Emily, so we compromised and called her Emily.
I didn't even know about this guy
happened to hear him while watching the move "Wild Card"
great, great stuff - great song for this forum
title of the song - "Gamblin Blues"
I love the way he plays few notes - but every one is just right

obviously an interesting connection to Clapton's past, but also to the past of a few other well known musicians.
i'm sure you know Mayall & the Blues Breakers covered that song as the first track of what ended up being known as the Beano Album released in '66.
Peter Green replaced Clapton in the Blues Breakers (when Clapton left to form Cream with Bruce and Baker) and has also identified All Your Love as the inspiration for Black Magic Woman
