About Me |
|
| Forty-one year old roots blues guitarist Whiskey Bob Taylor has had many labels such as singer/songwriter and blues historian thrust upon him over the years. His mesmerizing performances are a simmering gumbo of faithful renderings of early blues chestnuts by the likes of Robert Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson and his own insightful compositions, peppered with his recollections and stories of bluesmen of past and present, and stirred to a rolling boil by his energetic and passionate playing style.Whiskey Bob’s efforts to present traditional acoustic blues as a living, breathing art form have earned him the respect and friendship of many of the influential bluesmen he numbers among his heroes.The list of artists Whiskey Bob has appeared with over the years reads like a who’s who of the blues from early pioneers like Honeyboy Edwards, Louisaina Red, and the late Four Aces bassist Dave Myers to modern blues greats like former Muddy Waters' guitarist John Primer and Chicago harp greats Billy Branch, Harmonica Hinds, and Sugar Blue (harmonica on the Rolling Stones' "Miss You") who once said Whiskey "had that box chirping like a tree full of angry birds" after a particularly memorable performance at Buddy Guy's Legends.Whiskey Bob Taylor can be seen regularly around town at various clubs in and around the Chicagoland area.Buy merch from Whiskey Bob Taylor at www.zazzle.com/whiskeybob [ Copy this widget to your profile ] [ Create your own merch booth ] |
