5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding contemporary Chicago-style blues recording, October 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Make Room for the Blues (Audio CD)
Excellent example of contemporary Chicago blues artist and his music. Long a fixture on the Chicago blues club scene, Willie Kent is finally recording under his own name and under a variety of labels. This particular release on Delmark records features Willie Kent with a band--hand-picked by Kent--which fits together well. A well-rounded, varied blues album; heavy on Kent's great vocals.

RIP Willie Kent 2006, September 7, 2004
This review is from: Make Room for the Blues (Audio CD)
One of the great blues singers. For a hard , Mississipi sound, the best of his generation. Yes, he won the Handy Award every year, seemingly forever, for his bass playing, but that was just a consolation prize , an apology for not giving him the award for being what he -really- was: The premier male blues vocalist since Muddy Waters, while lesser but better known artists, presumed more fit to promote the Handys, stole the award.
