Instantly recognizable and 100% original.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>There is no guitarist on earth I value higher than <b>Junior Watson<\/b>. Making this record with him is one of the biggest honors in my life.\u201d -perennial Blues Music Award nominee for guitarist of the year, <b>Kid Andersen<\/b> on his guitar hero, <b>Junior Watson<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Kid Andersen<\/b>\u2019s Greaseland Studios and <b>Jim Pugh<\/b>\u2019s Little Village Foundation strike gold again with this much anticipated new recording from one of the most exciting, unpredictable, and unique blues guitarists we\u2019ve ever experienced, the legendary West Coast blues guitarist <b>Junior Watson<\/b>!! This phenomenal recording not only features the wild &amp; swingin\u2019 jaw-dropping guitar antics from Watson, but also 3 severely underrated lead vocalists, including Jr himself, rising star <b>Lisa Leuschner Andersen<\/b>, and one of the most authentic and best real deal blues vocalists of today, <b>Alabama Mike<\/b>! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"> <b>Alabama Mike<\/b> absolutely tears it up on his and <b>Junior<\/b>\u2019s deep blues original, \u201cShot In The Dark,\u201d definitely one of the many highlights!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Besides a fun &amp; fascinating <b>Pee Wee Crayton<\/b> tribute from Watson, \u201cPee Wee Classic,\u201d the songs are all killer covers of wildly obscure 60\u2019s R&amp;B buried treasure recordings that we believe have improved upon the originals! <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You\u2019re going to be absolutely blown away by the standout vocals from special guest <b>Lisa Leuschner Andersen<\/b>, the \u201cQueen of Greaseland,\u201d her hubby, guitar star\/multi-instrumentalist\/producer, <b>Kid<\/b> being the \u201cKing of Greaseland!\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Lisa may not be widely known in the blues world because she\u2019s mostly been a background vocalist, supplying her powerful and seductive pipes for countless Greaseland recordings. But this CD will change that, being her first major blues recording featured as prominent lead singer. Her incredibly moving voice, charisma, and talent has even brought her to the big stages of Showtime at The Apollo and American Idol.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This West Coast All-Star blues band is full of leading musicians in their own right, including unsung West Coast harp legend <b>Gary Smith<\/b> , keyboard master and Little Village Foundation record label heart &amp; soul, <b>Jim Pugh,<\/b> and the rhythm section of standup bassist <b>Kedar Roy<\/b> and drummer <b>Andrew Guterman.<\/b> Special mention going out to the one and only <b>Sax Gordon<\/b>, who adds his always in the pocket and in demand swingin &amp; honkin sax is all over this record!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-1 fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:31px;margin-left:0px;\"><h1 class=\"title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:50;line-height:1.4;\">LISTEN<\/h1><span class=\"awb-title-spacer\"><\/span><div class=\"title-sep-container\"><div class=\"title-sep sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#e0dede;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><iframe src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0GYaJtF3Z5irmmOjtUYcl5\" width=\"100%\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allow=\"encrypted-media\"><\/iframe><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1744,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[21,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 -
