5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Chicago Blues!, May 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: When the Blues Hit You (Audio CD)

Fine CD from harmonica ace Lester Davenport backed by an All-Star Chicago Blues Band: Sunnyland Slim on piano, John Primer on guitar, Bob Stroger on bass, and Robert Covington on drums. This is the real deal!

This review is from: When the Blues Hit You (Audio CD)

Just by remarking the extraordinary band that backs the harmonica ace LESTER DAVENPORT in this 5 stars 'When the Blues hit you', an All Star Chicago Blues Band, you can say that the record has to be very good. And it really is very very good, as good as you can expect. I don't want to point out any of the themes because all of them are at the same high level.
An authentic delight listening to the master SUNNYLAND SLIM's piano, the outstanding JOHN PRIMER's guitar (PRIMER was a player in The Teardrops, Magic Slim's band); also on the rhythmic section ROBERT STROGER on bass,ROBERT COVINGTON on drums and the silent WILLIE DAVIS playing the rhythm guitar. Great stuff, this is the real deal, I recommend it.
