Early on he played with Little Joe Blue before joining John Lee Hooker for a few years. Then Thompson formed The Resistors and began earning admiration from other musicians like Mick Fleetwood, who said he wanted to open a nightclub so Thompson could have a place to play. Thompson recorded in the studio occasionally but mostly stayed unknown. Jim Pugh of Little Village Foundation had played with Thompson in California clubs in the 1970s and wanted to capture Thompson\u2019s special talent and share it far and wide. The resulting recording, Son of Boogie Woogie, presents the raw and real Thompson on vocals, slide guitar, harmonica and even occasional piano. The CD includes Thompson originals and tunes from Cleveland Crochet (\u201cSugar Bee\u201d) and Juke Boy Bonner, a Texas one-man band who Thompson used to follow closely. The recording reveals an authentic and electrifying voice and passionate guitarist. Says Thompson, \u201cI want to play, and I want to be real about it. I am truly lucky to be able to play this kind of music.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 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-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><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;\"><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\/track\/0NjtSqGYoZ1rljHa2gqHHA\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 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><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":123,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[7],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 -
