- Shrink-wrapped
The Big Sound Of Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials Electrifying, raucous, pure Chicago bluesâ€¦.Lilâ€™ Ed is a guitarist extraordinaireâ€¦.slashing slide and flamboyant stage persona. â€”Chicago Tribune Rough and ready blues played with unmitigated intensityâ€¦Swirling, snarling, riveting slideâ€¦.The Blues Imperials pound out riffs and rhythms like theyâ€™re overdosing on boogie juice. Scorching and soulful, joyous and stomping. â€”Living Blues In Chicago, a city overflowing with unrivaled blues talent, world-renowned Lilâ€™ Ed & The Blues Imperials have been standing tall for almost 30 years. The bandâ€™s big sound, fueled by Lilâ€™ Edâ€™s gloriously rollicking slide work and deep blues stringbending, along with his rough-edged, soulful vocals, is as real and hard-hitting as Chicago blues gets. The Chicago Sun-Times says, â€œLilâ€™ Ed & The Blues Imperials are the hottest purveyors of bottleneck boogie to come out of Chicago since Hound Dog Taylor.â€ Lilâ€™ Ed Williams comes to the blues naturally. His uncle, Chicago slide guitar king and master songwriter J.B. Hutto, taught him how to feel, not just play the blues. Lil Ed And The Blues Imperials â€” bassist (and Edâ€™s half-brother) James â€œPookieâ€ Young, guitarist Mike Garrett and drummer Kelly Littleton â€” have remained together for nearly 30 years (an extraordinary feat for any band), fueling his songs with their rock-solid, road-tested, telepathic musicianship. The Big Sound Of Lilâ€™ Ed & The Blues Imperials is the musically electrifying, emotionally intense and downright fun new album from the band Guitar Player calls â€œa snarling boogie-blues machineâ€¦they blow down the walls.â€ The CD features Lilâ€™ Edâ€™s incendiary playing and playful, passionate singing, with the ragged-but-right Blues Imperials cooking like mad alongside him. Produced by Williams and Alligator president Bruce Iglauer, it is a tour-de-force of authentic, deeply rooted Chicago blues. Williams wrote or co-wrote all but two of albumâ€™s 14 songs, the others gems written by Uncle J.B. The Chicago Reader says the bandâ€™s music â€œis a soundtrack for dancing and celebration infused with a sense of hard-won survival. Williams attacks his lyrics like he attacks his guitar: with bare-bones intensity that makes each word sound like a matter of life or death.â€ With the new release, the band continues to bring their blistering Chicago blues to â€œEd Headsâ€ new and old. Their infectious energy, joyful showmanship and masterful playing have been honed to a razorâ€™s edge by their many years together. Lilâ€™ Ed, Pookie, Mike and Kelly have seen sports stars and presidents, musical fads and fashion trends come and go. Meanwhile, their fiery music has more than stood the test of time. â€œWeâ€™re not band members,â€ says Williams, â€œweâ€™re family, and families stay together.â€ Night after night, gig after riotous gig, the musical family called Lilâ€™ Ed & The Blues Imperials bring their big, dynamic Chicago blues sound to fans across the country and around the world.
