Saw "The Chief" in 1997 in a club on Rush Street in Chicago with my buddy Kevin Lewis. Two things stand out to me: 1.) Eddy played his Strat left-handed, but he had the strings set up the way you would if he played right handed and 2.) Eddy sat at our table during a break and Kevin said if ever played in Saginaw, MI then he was staying at Kevin's place, no argument! Great gentleman, The Chief. RIP Eddy

How cool to come across this, 40+ years later. Worked in a small print shop and in walks this guy, THIS guy. Long story short, we printed up show flyers or whatever they're called, ( that store owners would put up in the windows, etc.)
He walks in and GIVES me this album and signs it. Took it home and played the Hell out of it.

How so cool!

Saw "The Chief" multiple times at The Kingston Mines in Chicago with my friend Jim Fredricks...Where the hell are you Jim?

Great Album...how can you get Carey& Lurrie Bell, Casey Jones, Abb Locke, Chuck Smith and all these dudes in the same studio? WOW!. The saxes with the harmonica is rarely done, and they use it to great effect here. I got to see Eddy once in Chicago and met him...very nice guy he signed a CASSETTE(!) I bought from him. What an entertainer too...Musta been close to seven feet tall with that cowboy hat he had on that night. Anyway, I miss the Chief.

The ensemble sound is as good as any blues band, including Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, B.B. King or Aaron Walker. Amazing talent for expressing reality in all these songs. The music is a textbook on blues styles, from shuffles to jump blues.

Big Edy! descanse em paz, salve o blues!

[@leonelverdinrios7225]

I remember when Eddy Clearwater and his band plays in Mexico City in 1981 in one of those blues festivals in Arena Mexico (A place for wrestling and box). It was a magical blues night with one hour of this blues virtuoso.

THAT would have been so GREAT! So fortunate!

Love this guy

I first Heard and was given this Album by a friend at the Juneteenth Blues Festival in Houston in 1981. When I heard--One Day At a Time--it became one of those songs that is to this day one of my Theme songs....It still speaks my attitudes 39 years later, and I do live that way.

[@UdoHoeltge]
