"I also remember Bill saying that you can play something very simple, Clarke-Lodovici recounts, "but with soul, deep down from your heart, and make it really count. In the beginning Bill played a lot faster, but George Smith and Shakey Jake, mostly Shakey, would tell Bill to slow down and make every lick count. He listened to Shakey, and I'm glad. It did help his playing. Shakey was limited in his playing, but knew the blues."
Most bad-assed for sure. And one hell of a band to hang with him. I was lucky enough to see him a few times around this time. Ain't been the same since.
The Live in Germany album is great stuff. I had the pleasure of being there too ;-)
Just because music is on Spotify doesn't mean the artist earns anything. My band has appeared on Spotify and we didn't put it there. We certainly don't earn anything from it.
