Eddie
Kirkland
Born in Jamaica, raised in Alabama,
a longtime
fixture on the Detroit music
scene -- he worked
there for many years with John
Lee Hooker --
the great Eddie
Kirkland has been singing and
playing the blues for some 60
(!) years now...
and he's still going strong.
During his long and
illustrious music career, Kirkland
has recorded
for labels like Prestige, Stax/Volt
and Telarc,
and we're thrilled to have him
on the first CD
in our new Wild Oats Records
Blues Series,
FOUR ACES.
Since first running off with a
medicine show at the age of 12,
this classic
blues artist has performed everywhere
from
Montana to Turkey to Greece;
and as these
new recordings show, the man's
gritty vocals,
drivin' guitar and soulful harp
still sound great.
