Generations of BLUES

Eddie Taylor Sr, een meestergitarist en VeeJay-artiest, en zijn vrouw, zangeres Vera Taylor, waren leiders in de Great Migration-generatie die de blues van Mississippi naar de West Side van Chicago bracht in de jaren vijftig.  Vijf van hun acht kinderen groeiden op tot professionele musici. Uit de meedogenloze chaos van stedelijke armoede, geweld en raciaal onrecht in de thuisgemeenschap van de Taylors rijst de schoonheid van deze overlevingsmuziek op. De blues zit hen in het bloed

 JOHN NEMETH - MAY BE THE LAST TIME

LABEL: NOLA BLUE RECORDS
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2022
DISTRIBUTION: CPI/ORCHARD

"I recorded this album before my jaw amputation surgery, which took place in late May. It's called May Be The Last Time because I didn't know then and I still don't know, if I will ever sing or play again like I used to. I have to say the magic of this performance is beyond this world and maybe the greatest of my life." John Nemeth

Musicians are always among the first to respond in times of crisis and offer up aid and lend their time and talents to support a cause. When word got around that award-winning bluesman John Németh was facing surgery to treat a potentially career-ending and life-threatening illness, several of his old friends stepped up to help him record May Be The Last Time, before his operation.
