Birdlegg & The Texas Tightfit Blues Band - Live At The Blue Moon (2014) [CD Rip]

Selected as Blues Harmonica Player of the Year by the Bay Blues Society in 2004, Birdlegg has been blowing the blues in the Bay Area for over 20 years. Fronting a group of great musicians, known as the Tight Fit Blues Band, Birdlegg continues to win over new fans every day by keeping the Blues alive.

While practically every other blues harmonica player of his generation fell under the spell of Little Walter, Birdlegg is, and always was, different. Instead, he was captivated by the generation before Jacobs the one that inspired the virtuoso to completely redefine postwar blues harmonica in the early 1950s.

Harking back to a style reminiscent of two of the greatest early postwar and country blues harmonica players, Sonny Boy Williamson and Sonny Terry, Birdlegg's expressive, full-tilt playing and singing also brings a fresh and distinctive approach to traditional gutbucket blues something that has become all too rare these days.
