Live Blues Listings
Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials are appearing at the Silver Dollar on
January 29th. Left to right, they are Mike Garret, Lil' Ed Williams,
Kelly Littleton and James "Pookie" Young. They come
from Chicago and their kinetic, unpredictable brand of party-time blues will
force you out of your seat and onto the dance floor. Their music is
reminiscent of Hound Dog Taylor and Lil' Ed's uncle J.B. Hutto. Their
latest release is Get Wild! from Alligator/Warner Music. Photo
