Richard Wagster is better known in the blues world as Dicky James, and he and his Indiana-based band, The Blue Flames, have been tearin’ it up in the Midwest since their formation in 2008. With their second album, “Hard Rain,” they have taken a major step forward in the heady playing field of contemporary blues. It consists of nine originals and two covers, and showcases Dicky’s maturity both as a writer and guitarist. He’s joined by Bob Freeze on harp, Johnny Beeson on B-3, Mark Ford on bass, and Will Cox on drums, who handles some tricky arrangements throughout the set, all without missing a beat!!
This set is dedicated to the memory of the late Pinetop Perkins, and fittingly so. Like Pinetop’s music, “Hard Rain” keeps the soul and history of the blues intact while simultaneously looking ahead to the future!! Until next time… ~Sheryl and Don Crow
