Hubert Sumlin and Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin Duo
Location:
Regattabar
1 Bennett Street
Cambridge, Massachusetts
Starts at: 10:00 PM
This is not an all day event
Description:
HUBERT SUMLIN is a living legend. He is the hero of all our guitar heroes but he doesn't think about that. Sumlin grew up playing his guitar with harmonica great James Cotton. In 1949 at the age of eighteen he became Howlin' Wolf's lead guitarist, a position he held down for the next twenty-five years, except for a brief six-month stint in Muddy Waters' band. He has played with Pinetop Perkins, Willie Dixon, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry and countless others. He counts among his biggest fans Jimmy Page, Carlos Santana, and John Mayer as well as Keith Richards and Eric Clapton, both of whom play on About Them Shoes, Sumlin's brand new album. Taken as a whole About Them Shoes is a snapshot of Sumlin and his friends carrying on and having nothing but a good time. "I live for the blues," Sumlin attests. "And when you love something you're going to do it better. You may even be able to do something you shouldn't be able to. This is my dream," he goes on. "I have the best musicians around and I want to keep doing things I've never done before. And I know I can, I just know it." In a way, Hubert Sumlin is the reason we listen to music. He's the reason we bought and own all those wonderful records. He is, in essence, the pure joy of the music. He lives it, embodies it, and walks around with it every single day. "About Them Shoes," Hubert is prone to explain, "is the way you walk. If you walk the blues, you're going to play the blues. It's in your heart. It's in your mind. It's all about those shoes, man." He pauses for a second, "I came into this world loving what I do and I got more spirit now and I just love what I'm doing, and you know what? I think you're gonna love it too. Thank you." ********************************* STEADY ROLLIN' BOB MARGOLIN is a Blues guitar player and vocalist, carrying on the deep Chicago Blues style and creating his original music today. From 1973-1980, Bob played guitar in the band of Chicago Blues legend Muddy Waters, touring worldwide and recording, and learning to play Muddy's powerful music directly from him. In 1980, Bob started his own band. As a leader, Bob has recorded two albums for Powerhouse Records, three for Alligator, one for Blind Pig, and his latest is The Bob Margolin All-Star Blues jam. This album was nominated for a 2004 W.C. Handy Award for "Traditional Blues Album of the Year." It features Pinetop Perkins, Hubert Sumlin, Carey Bell, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, and Mookie Brill and as "The Bob Margolin All-Star Band," has been nominated for a Handy Award for "Blues Band of The Year." Bob has also appeared as a guest or sideman on dozens of Blues records. He is also producing re-issues of Muddy Waters' late-'70s Blue Sky albums for Sony/Legacy. Bob played guitar on those albums. The first, "Muddy Mississippi Waters Live Legacy Edition" was released in September '03 and was nominated for a Handy Award for "Reissue of the Year."
