The band delivers the classic Chicago shuffle with two alumni of the Muddy Waters band (Bob Margolin and Willie “Big Eyes” Smith) plus Bob Stroger, Little Frank and Bob Corritore, whose Windy City harmonica provides the perfect foil to Koko’s voice. All hail the Queen!
Coming 3/31/23: Bob Corritore & Friends / Women In Blues Showcase
This very special installment of Bob Corritore’s From The Vaults series features great recordings from spectacular blues women. It surveys a wide geographic and stylistic spectrum, from hitmaking Gulf Coast legends Barbara Lynn and Carol Fran, to the heavy Chicago Blues of Koko Taylor, well known as the Queen Of The Blues, to the Phoenix’s soul/blues/gospel diva, Francine Reed who has toured for years in Lyle Lovett’s band, to the spectacular vocal powerhouse Diunna Greenleaf from Houston Texas, to the gentle wonderment of Tennessee’s Valerie June, a rising star on the Americana scene who got a start street-busking at the King Biscuit Blues Festival, to Mississippi’s Shy Perry who’s deceptive name and stature deliver a powerhouse Wang Dang Doodle, to the daughter of Chicago blues great John Primer, Aliya Primer with her very first recording done with great authority at age 17! Bob Corritore has recorded all of these wonderful woman artists with great sensitivity to their stylistic and personal indivuality! Behold a collection of spectacular, female voices, which collectively demonstrate both the undeniable power and empowering vulnerability of the feminine voice.
