:: Release Notes:
::
:: Born and raised near Chicago, guitarist/vocalist Moss has
:: effectively captured the classic sound of 1950s-style Chicago
:: blues as exemplified by Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Otis Rush
:: and Buddy Guy. Before going out on his own, Nick went to
:: "blues school" by going out on the road and recording with
:: such artists as Jimmy Dawkins, the Legendary Blues Band,
:: Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, Big Bill Morganfield and--most
:: notably--legendary guitarist Jimmy Rogers, who was Nick's
:: primary influence and mentor for the almost three years Nick
:: was in his band as second guitarist.
::
:: The album's title refers to Nick's first child, born last May
:: and named after Hound Dog Taylor and John Lee Hooker songs.
:: "Sadie Mae" features 13 original songs, as well as his own
:: smokin' interpretations of songs by Earl Hooker ("You Got to
:: Lose"), Lefty Dizz ("If I Could Get My Hands on You") and
:: Jimmy Rogers ("Crazy Woman Blues").
::
:: Nick's previous three albums all received critical acclaim
:: from blues audiences around the globe, and his last two
:: albums, Count Your Blessings (2003) and Got a New Plan (2001)
:: both earned him W.C. Handy Award nominations. His band, the
:: Flip Tops, includes some of the best young blues players
:: around, including keyboardist Bob Welsh (Charlie Musselwhite,
:: Rusty Zinn), harmonica player/guitarist Gerry Hundt, bassist
:: Dave Wood and drummer Victor Spann. Out front and center is
:: the incendiary guitar and vocals of Nick Moss, himself, who
:: transports the listener back in time to a Southside juke
:: joint with a few guitar licks or moanin' vocals.
