1967 BURNING ELECTRIFIED BLUESROCK COLLECTIBLE .. = the DIRTY BLUES BAND = USA - BLUESWAY RECORDS - BLS 6010
Collection worthy :::: CLEAN :::
SCARCE and sought after 1967 first pressing vinyl on the old collected 'Bluesway' label of the sixties...includes the original Bluesway inner sleeve - LOOK!
the DIRTY BLUES BAND is pre-Bacon Fat. Featuring Rod Piazza on harp, this album, the first and maybe(?) best of two, is filled with smokin' great chicago blues featuring some standards with a kick in the ass, like "Spoonful", "Born under a Bad Sign" and their own compositions. The best track is a slow blues burner: "Worry Worry Blues". "Shake it Baby" another cooker, is same as Otis Rush's "All Your Love" but with different lyrics. The presence of two members are the focal point; a 19-year-old Rod Piazza on lead vocals and Glenn Ross Campbell, formerly of the great but obscure psychedelic group the Misunderstood, (then Juicy Lucy) on guitar. Unfortunately, Campbell, who had been unleashing unearthly astral leads in the Yardbirds-like Misunderstood less than a year prior to the September 1967 recording of this LP, sounds far less imaginative in the blues rock context -- while his leads are very decent, still not to sit you up and pop your eyes open.
Part of a relatively obscure West Coast blues scene based in Riverdale, California, in the late 1960s, the Dirty Blues Band played straightforward, lovingly attentive, and competently rendered 'cooking' electric blues.
