Jim McCarty & Mystery Train w/Willie D. Warren-Hoochie Coochie Man

[AylaPazza401]

Over 20 years ago, my cousin took me to the Soup Kitchen to hear the blues. To this day, it is one of the best memories I have!

Willie was a great musician & friend of mine. I lived in Detroit from '98-2000, during which time i jammed with Willie on a few stages several times. The last time i saw him, I played with him too. At the end of our set he said let me buy you a drink. During our drink he asked if i thought he should retire. I replied i don't know, how do you feel? He said, i'm tired Chris. That was mid Dec '99, I left for europe 3 or 4 days later. I never spoke to my friend again. ~ R.I.P Mr. Warren

For those interested I have 3 cd's of unreleased Willie Warren in the studio - recorded for a UK project and done right up until 3 days before he died. Amazing stuff. Drop me a line!

[peonwarrior]

i might be interested!! can u tell me with who he is playing with?

[JakeKirkpatrick]

Howard Glazer (guitar); Gary Rasmussen, Scott Gatteno, Locious Wilson (bass); Matt Stahl (drums) - it's the same band that I recorded the Harmonica Shah album 'Deep detroit' .... also well worth checking out if you don't know it! The WW stuff has a real feel and tracks like 'going down slow' recorded 3 days before he died are priceless - yeah there are rough bits of playing BUT thety are all genuine and heartfelt licks, the vox are simply coming from a man who knew his time was almost up.

[zzk5p1]

I've got some good videos of Willie D. Warren performing in Detroit, at least a few shows. I think they're with Jim McCarty also. One was at the Soup Kitchen too. One may even be this same show. I'll have to dig 'em out and check. Thanks!

Ahhhh...so I'm not the only one. Good to know. On this evening, Erik Smith from channel 7 news got up and sang with the band. Note to Erik: stick to the news.

[01twincam]

@junedeon eric has been a good supporter of the blues and even co-wrote songs with Albert Collins. He's a nice man too.

[Krzywkowski]

Hard to believe such great sound from a camera mic. I hope to see more in the future. This band is also very good

[Krzywkowski]

The soup was the Best Blues club ever. Rick Stell on the keys. I was at many of Willies shows when he played at the soup. This is great stuff.
