CommentThis was an all-star line-up of older bluesmen who'd performed in Muddy Waters' bands. Led by guitarist and vocalist John Primer, along with pianist Joe Willie 'Pinetop' Perkins, guitarist Luther Johnson, bassist Calvin "Fuzz" Jones, drummer and vocalist Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, and featuring the talents of two legendary harp players, Carey Bell and James Cotton, this band of elder statesmen turned out to be the heart and soul of this year's fest.

CommentHeartbreakingly, Chuck passed away at too-young-an-age from cancer the previous winter. This show was on the Front Porch Stage and was a one-hour Tribute to Barrelhouse Chuck featuring Billy Flynn, Johnny Iguana, Roosevelt Purifoy and Piano Willie O’Shawny. I'm listing it on etreedb as a Barrelhouse Chuck show because Chuck was there, in spirit, playing his ass off. Just listen...
