Live In Chicago

In 1989 on a brutally cold February night in Madison, Wisconsin Earwig recorded Big Jack with Jack’s five piece band from Clarksdale, augmented by his past band mates Frank Frost, Sam Carr and “Little Geno” Tucker. That album was not released due to the band being unfamiliar with Jack’s original tunes. Those tunes were rerecorded with a crack band of Chicago session players for what became the 1990 album Daddy, When Is Mama Comin Home? Not until Jack came back to Chicago to play with the Aron Burton Blues Band in 1994 and 1995 was Earwig finally able to capture Jack live at his full power, doing his mix of blues classics and his own contemporary Delta blues storytelling.

“You’re listening to real blues played by a real blues man. It doesn’t get any better than this; you’ll feel like you’re sitting right there in a smoky club when you listen to Live In Chicago.” – Music Paper
