CBID - Eddy Clearwater in Lugano

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's another CD containing an Eddy performance:

BLUES TO BOP LUGANO

CD: Altri Suoni (Casino Lugano) AS-058 • Switzerland, 1999

Don’t Steal My Blues

12 tracks. This was recorded at the annual festival in Lugano, Switzerland called Lugano Blues To Bop, 2-5 September 1999, It’s a very long stretched out slow blues, clocking in at 12:46, written by Eddy himself. The other performers on the CD are Ian Siegel, Mike Stresser & Ed Gents, John Crampton, Captain Luke, Judith Emmeline, John Carter Cash a.o. I have tried to check what happened during the festival and who backed Eddy on the show but with no luck. There’s no such info on the album. However he is augmented by both tenor saxophone and organ in addition to bass and drums.
