内容紹介
A wonderfully dramatic showman, Tail Dragger also possesses one of the most authentic and distinct Chicago Blues voices ever. In 1998, his 'American People' (DMK #728) was described as 'tour de force Chicago Blues' by Art Tipaldi in Blues Revue.
Video Description
Tail Dragger - a holdout from the time when blues giants like Howlin Wolf and Magic Sam still ruled on the West Side. The neighborhood, the music, and the rest of the world have changed around him, but Tail Dragger still embraces the old ways. Even Tail Dragger痴 original material, in which he addresses modern-day concerns, is hewn from the same raw materials utilized 礎ack in the day: loosely-swinging rhythms, snaky intertwining guitars, and often as not, a wailing amplified harp player leading the way. Ironically, he痴 become unique by not changing for 40 years.
As a fan of Howlin Wolf痴 music since before moving to Chicago in 66, Tail Dragger began hanging around and sitting in with the big man himself. In addition to some first-hand tutoring, it was Wolf who gave Tail Dragger his stage name which he痴 used ever since.
You really must witness a performance to fully appreciate the Tail Dragger experience. Like his early mentor The Wolf, there is almost nothing he won稚 do whether it痴 crawling on all fours or slithering on his belly like a snake in order to sell a song, or get his point across. And thanks to this live DVD release, blues fans who don稚 live within driving distance of Vern痴 Friendly Lounge will finally get a chance to experience the one and only Tail Dragger in all his earthy glory.
