Chicago Blues Jam Vol. 12 - Billy Branch / Keb' Mo' (2005)

This is the 8th of 12 volumes of live blues from Buddy Guys' 'Legends' club in Chicago recorded in 1994. Blues musician Billy Branch is captured in performance on this release. Shot at Legends in Chicago–which is owned by legendary bluesman Buddy Guy–it forms part of a series of shows from the club. Each release in the series comes from one of Legend's Monday-night jam sessions, and is designed to highlight the impressive array of talent that has passed through the club's doors.



Billy Branch

The leader of the Sons of the Blues, Branch is considered to be an instrumental leader in shaping the future of Chicago blues. A former member of Willie Dixon's Chicago Blues All-Stars, Branch recorded and toured with the legend extensively. He still performs regularly, and was instrumental in creating the "Blues in the Schools" program in Chicago, which will undoubtedly be formative for future blues performers.

Keb' Mo'

This talented guitarist/vocalist from Crompton has electrified audiences since his debut release in 1980. A decidedly modern artist who fuses blues with many other influences, Keb? will certainly continue to shape and influence the evolution of blues through the 21st century.
