Live From Chicago In the 1970's, Bob Riedy led one of the most disciplined and prolific bands of Chicago Urban Blues musicians ever established. Blues legends such as John Littlejohn, Johnny Young, Jimmy Rogers, Carey Bell, Magic Slim, Eddy Clearwater, and Richard "Hub Cap" Robinson all played with the Bob Riedy Blues Band.

As Riedy began to record with these legends, he quickly discovered that the artists typically gave even better and more inspired performances in the clubs than in the studio. Musicians played at the very edge of their capabilities in the clubs, with excitement and sometimes reckless abandon. Live From Chicago, a two-disk set, captures the band in an uninhibited live atmosphere that produced some of the best improvisational performances of the decade.

Live From Chicago is compiled from the raw tape Riedy originally recorded off the band's public address system, then used primarily for rehearsal purposes. Over the years, Riedy found himself listening to and appreciating more and more the authenticity of the performances captured on these tapes. Though not technically perfectly balanced or professionally recorded with a studio truck, these tapes are virtually an exact representation of what the patrons of the club heard. They are uncut from beginning to end, exactly as performed.

Now that these archival tapes have been digitally mastered, you can sit back and enjoy a night at the club, Live From Chicago.

Good to see that Richard Knapp (bass) carried on playing and is the same Rick Knapp who played with Walter Trout for some years and is now with Jimmy Thackery.
