This album is dedicated to all the great bluesmen who have passed since our last recording, especially Otis Rush, Lazy Lester, Jody Williams, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Eddy Clearwater, Eddie C. Campbell, Eddie Taylor Jr., and Mike Ledbetter. Hail To The Kings! features 11 brilliant new original songs and revitalizing takes on Jimmy Reed’s “I’m The Man Down There” and Mercy Dee Walton’s “Sugar Daddy.” Label-mate Shemekia Copeland guests on one track. A raucous, hard-hitting album that breathes fire into authentic Chicago blues. An essential purchase for any fan of real blues!
