“Oh, to have been there either night to witness this stunning display of virtuosity and personality in a city that’s synonymous with the blues itself on a label that specializes in historic live performances.”
by Mike Greenblatt.
The tape was rolling on the north side of Chicago when vocalist/guitarist/songwriter/entertainer/bandleader bluesman Linsey Alexander, 77, rocked out for two nights Live At Rosa’s(Delmark Records) with a second guitarist, bassist, drummer and keyboardist pummeling the enthusiastic crowds with classics from BB King, Freddie King, Junior Wells and six originals. Oh, to have been there either night to witness this stunning display of virtuosity and personality in a city that’s synonymous with the blues itself on a label that specializes in historic live performances. Born in Mississippi, raised in Memphis, having played with Buddy Guy, he hit Chicago running in ’63 and hasn’t looked back. Guess it’s time to discover more Linsey Alexander, namely Two Cats (2017), Come Back Baby (2014) and Been There Done That (2012).
