Eddie Taylor Sr, a master guitarist and VeeJay recording artist, and his wife, singer Vera Taylor, were leaders in the Great Migration generation which brought the blues from Mississippi to the West Side of Chicago in the 1950s. Five of their eight children grew up to be professional musicians. Out of the relentless chaos of urban poverty, violence, and racial injustice in the Taylors’ home community rises the beauty of this music of survival. The blues is in their blood.
In 2015, Larry invited his brothers and sisters—Brenda, Demetria, Eddie Jr. and Tim-- to record songs from their parents’ generation. Larry’s son Dullah “Liljet2x” added a rap song dedicated to his mother, the late Janice Myles. So three Taylor generations shine on this album - in body or in spirit. Larry’s group, the Soul Blues Healers, includes West and South Side musicians he’s known for a lifetime. Since this recording, Sleepy Riley and Killer Ray Allison have gone on to Soul Heaven.
