Sam Pemberton played rhythm guitar for Guitar shorty for over 600 shows. He spent 30 hours in the studio massaging and remastering the music contained on this CD. He has captured the essence of Shorty live with this album. It captures the sound and talent of a great bluesman who is in his prime and playing his heart out. If you are a Guitar Shorty fan, this will certainly trip your trigger. It is an outstanding listen that allows you to hear music from a couple of decades ago that is otherwise not available.
Guitar Shorty was born David William Kearney in Houston, Texas, 92 years ago. He was moved to Kissimmee, Florida, at a very young age and was raised there by his grandmother. Mentored by his uncle Willie Quarterman who hailed from the Mississippi Delta, he developed his unique style listening to the likes of Guitar Slim, T-Bone Walker, B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, and Willie Dixon. His style takes pieces and parts or the Delta, West Coast blues, rock, soul and more all fused together in the raw and powerful music that Shorty delivered to us to savor.
Shorty’s career began in the late 1950’s and 1960’s and was phenomenal. He disappeared from the scene for a while, but his return in the 1990’s for Blacktop Records and and then Alligator Records heralded his talents and fame. He won a pair of Blues Music Awards, first for My Way Or The Highway, an English release, and then with We the People. His storied career ended in 2022 when he departed this existence at age 87. His legacy lives on, and with this release it is embellished even further. [---] Shorty does all the vocals and lead guitar. Pemberton is solid on rhythm guitar and serves as band leader. The bass duties were handled by John Morris. On drums we have Mandriel “Big Driel” Allen. Matt Farrell plays keys. It’s a great set of musicians and they support Shorty well here.
It’s a wild album. Shorty live removes the studio restrictions that never allow the listener to hear Shorty in all his glory. As I noted earlier, this is not an album for those who want complacent music. This is wild and driving stuff that showcase what Guitar Shorty was all about. He improvises and makes his guitar groan and moan and shine brightly as he delivers one superb performance after another. This is not a 2026 studio quality recording. It’s music that someone got a hold of and made available for the masses. While the dynamics and frequencies get packed into a lesser sound, we still get the impact and power of a man and his instrument doing what he can do as only he can do. /Steve Jones, Blues Blast Magazine
