The King Biscuit Boy was not just a wailer and harp player. He was one of the world's best slide players as well. In fact Duane Allman asked him to play slide!!!!!! in his new band.
I saw Crowbar on one night and King Biscuit Boy the next for $0.75 each at the Edmonton Exhibition in 1973. Still two of the best nights of music ever. Thank god that Holger Peterson at Stony Plain Records has preserved the music of this master musician.
I first heard KBB on Q1O7 on their Psychedelic Sunday show (Corrina Corrina). Never knew the name of the song or the Artist. So I called the station, spoke with the DJ and he told me it was KBB after I hummed/sang him a bit of it. Spent months in the larger music stores trying to find his material. Finally found "Badly Bent" in a little CD shop on Queen W. He died two months later. This is the only "live" performance I've ever seen him do. Thanks coolfoolthebook, for a treat as sweet as honey.
Yeah! Finally someone started uploading some of his stuff! I can't get enough of him. Never could. Best harp player ever! Still got my copy of Gooduns in the gunny sack in excellent condition. Thanks for uploading this one!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure that's Kelly Jay tickling the ivories and one of the founding member of Canada's own Crowbar. Richard also jammed with Crowbar as well. RIP Mr. King Biscuit Boy ...
Great and rare clip -- more! more! -- but the song title is actually "Blue Light Boogie," as originally done by Louis Jordan. "House of Blue Lights" is a totally different song.
