CBID - addition to the Eddy Clearwater discography

CBID is never complete as new records and CDs appear and some old rarities are discovered. This section presents interesting additions and corrections to CBID.

Today: Besides covering Chuck Berry and Johnnie Johnson, CBID also has chapter 19 containing a session discography as well as record releases by the Berry-inspired US artist Eddy Clearwater. Here are three CDs and one DVD published after the book:

JAZZ À JUNAS – Recorded Live In Junas, France

Recorded live at the Jazz Festival in Junas, France 23 July 2011. It’s an outdoor concert in a small village in the south of France. Interesting release including a 16 page colour photo booklet and liner notes written by Bill Dahl. Featuring Eddy on guitar and vocals, Thomas Crivellone (guitar), Shoji Naito (bass, harmonica), Stephen Bass (drums).
Just one little thing. Bill Dahl writes about the show but without telling the exact date. Why is it so damn difficult to include the recording data? I had to google to find the day he performed at Junas. Very annoying.
