Thanks so very much for posting this great album. I am trying to do some research on Bobby King. Does anyone know of any sources which have information on his life. He is from my hometown and I am writing a book on area artists. Can't seem to find anything on the web. Would love to include Bobby King in the book. Thanks!

Gerard Herzhaft said...

@jmmyjam: Glad to see that some people are alos interested in Bobby King. He really was a great guitarist and bluesman and if his life hadn't been doomed by bad fate, he certainly would have become one of the "Kings" of the blues.
I wrote a short bio of him on my blog
http://jukegh.blogspot.fr/2013/11/chicago-blues-yesterday-vol-7.html
For more infos you should ask to Jim O'Neal through his site
http://66.203.147.88/bluesoterica/
Jim was the founder of the very first US blues magazine (Living blues) and, living in Chicago, he knew Bobby King personnally.

Bob Mac said...

Hi Gerard, what's the latest on Jim O'Neal? I read somewhere recently that Jim was very ill with cancer but haven't heard anything since then.

Gerard Herzhaft said...

@Bob Mac: Fortunately, Jim is quite well by now and working hard as ever with his bluesoterica thing. He has just unveiled in a recent article in Living Blues the mystery surrounding Casey Bill Weldon, finding his dates of birth and death, his family whereabouts and the fact that Casey Bill was not at all Memphis Jug Band's Will Weldon.

jmmyjam said...

Gerald, thanks for the info on Bobby King. I did some further research. Please note that Bobby King is from my stumping grounds in Jefferson County, Arkansas. He was not born in Little Rock as this is Pulaski County. This information comes from the research of blues scholars Bob Eagle and Eric LeBlanc in their most recent book, Blues: A Regional Experience.

Thank you for the Tillman tape, it is nice to hear the introductions.
The tracks do not have the same order as in the Bobby King disco.
I think it is like this:
01 Intro-Bobby's Shuffle
02 Bad Luck Blues
03 My Darkest Hour
04 Hoochie Coochie Man
05 Sweet Home Chicago
06 One Step Back
07 Everyday I Have The Blues
08 Vampire
09 Stormy Monday
10 Please Love Me
11 Make Up My Mind
12 Outtro
Track 8 is a long instrumental and Tillman says somesing about a vampire. I don't know the title.

Anyway, thanks for the music.
