Tail Dragger & Bob Corritore’s “Longtime Friends in the Blues” CD Release Party at B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted in Chicago on June 7. My pre-Blues-Fest warm up.

Bob Corritore talked about the show in his Blues Festival recap:

Thursday was the CD Release Party at B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted for Tail Dragger & Bob Corritore / Longtime Friends In The Blues on the Delta Groove label. The great band included Illinois Slim, Kevin Shanahan, Todd Fackler, and Twist Turner and we invited up a few special guests including the great Martin Lange, Rockin’ Johnny, and Joe Louis Walker. The club was packed with an exceptional amount of our friends from Europe and South America. This night was recorded by Delmark’s Steve Wagner who will present it on his internet podcast website. It was especially great to reunite with my friend Illinois Slim who I have known and performed with since 1975.
