The BOB E. LEE Blues Band (a shameless plug)

"PIECES OF BLUES" is Bob E. Lee's first recorded documentation of his interpretation of "the blues" as seen through his eyes. Bob E. Lee is a twenty-year veteran of the Chicago Southside blues scene. His guitar and blues-harp, give voice to the emotion of a life-lived in the shadow of the steel mills. Bob's powerful voice, along with his talent for story-telling, combined to create his own personal experience of the blues.

Bob leads the "Bob E. Lee Blues Band," a group of talented and diverse group of veteran blues musicians who perform regularly at blues clubs and festivals, etc... throughout Chicago, it's suburb; Joliet and Northwest Indiana.

Bob has opened shows for Chicago's own Lonnie Brook's and his well-established son Ronnie Baker Brooks. He has jammed with the likes of Chicago blues guitarist John Primer (of Willie Dixon/Muddy Waters bands), legendary drummer Vernon Rogers (of the late Junior Well's band), Mike Wheeler a.k.a. "The Chicago Playboys," and Vino Loudin to name a few popular Chicago blues musicians. He has also shared libations with the late great Hound Dog Taylor.

Bob began singing at an early age during the Elvis-era singing songs like "Hound Dog." Bob has been singing all of his life and sites the late great Ray Charles and Muddy Waters, Luther Allison as well as modern-day musicians like Johnny Winter, Lyle Lovette and David Bromberg as major influences.

Bob E. Lee's "Pieces of Blues" CD, is a "must-have" for any blues music enthusiast, who seeks good solid blues-based music that is seasoned with variety for the listener, it is also a snapshot of the future of where this music genre is headed.

"PIECES OF BLUES" - Bob E. Lee

Just a shameless plug for an old friend who I've recently reconnected with after not seeing him for literally decades; his renditions of "Mustang Sally" and "Give Me Back My Wig" really brought down the house!! I posted this on our IL board as well and figured one good turn deserved another.
