Random MySpace Page
I am sort of stealing this from another b5media blogger. By the way, please view that blogroll to the right. These guys are all passionate and dedicated and some of the coolest people you are likely to find. They love music and it shows. So, if you love music, check them out.
So, I did a random check in MySpace for some Chicago Blues musicians. The very first guys I ran across, the Chicago Blues Angels, just about blew me out of my chair.
http://www.myspace.com/chicagobluesangels is the spot.
Three guys from the Joliet area, which is a suburb just southwest of Chicago. The band is composed of Bradley Scott Ber, Herman Hines and Mondo Cortez. They say that they love to play Chicago blues and they last released an album back at the end of 2005.
Check out their page and then click on the songs they have posted there. The very first tune, “Crazy Woman Blues” just about knocked me out. That is down and dirty Chicago blues in it’s best form, right there. With great harp playing, nasty guitar and lyrics about a woman what done him wrong, well, what more can you ask.
They have a website at www.chicagobluesangels.com if you want more information. They are likely to be playing near you soon and they are someone to look out for during your next visit to Chicago.
Looks like they have a gig right in Joliet, at the City of Champions Sports Bar, this Friday. On the 22nd they will be in Steger Illinois for Stegerfest.
Check them out!
