It ain't easy being a working Blue singer - jazzboCR - 01-07-2015
Some make it; most don't (wedding bands, anyone?). Here's one who prevails: Willie Buck. Keeps that '50's Chicago Blues tradition alive. Ron Weinstock has a marvy blog entry: http://inabluemood.blogspot.com/2012/11/willie-buck-is-rockin-cell-phone-man.html This AMG review of his 1st album puts you in the picture.: http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-life-i-love-mw0001971809 He basically belongs with "Local Heroes"--not much national attention.
Some tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9jZpNWWjKM << He's hooked up with Rockin' Johnny and that's a good thing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C62LXOLT-Cg << In the Blues, all is metaphor.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4LOrictwGQ << shows all the elements those reviews talked about
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRPfcmiLmRk << You betcha I like this rockin' Blues. Yes I do.
