Chicago Bob Hess Blues Hall of Fame ® Ambassador to South Carolina Appointed 1/21/04

Myrtle Beach

Here's my review: "Go Away Mr. Blues" is Sofa King good I had to listen to it again and again. You have forever captured The Blues expertly as only few Blues Artists can. Your sophisticated B3 and guitar tone is perfect. The vocals seem to emanate from deep within your soul and seem to reach into forgotten feelings in mine.

The best new Blues Tune I've heard in months. Lucky

Chicago Bob rules!!!! Jim Blackmon 9/6/03

When Chicago Bob left the Big Windy, he left a hole in the heart of Chicago Blues. Glad to hear he and the band are very much alive and kickin ass with tunes like "Go Away Mr. Blues"!

VOTE   Drink Small   From Lisa Randle:

I would like to nominate Drink Small - winner of the 1992 Jean Laney Harris Folk Heritage Award, presented annually by General Assembly of the State of South Carolina.

Drink is a practioner of the Piedmont Blues. Being from Bishopville, SC and moving to the capital city of Columbia, Mr. Small has devoted his whole lifetime to music in South Carolina. He wants to keep it here for the future generation, so that they will know all about the art that was discovered in South Carolina. He has kept Piedmont Blues alive for fifty years. He has worked with rag time, spiritual, gospel, boogie, shag and other genres. He has worked with the SC Arts Commission, Art for Prison, Art for Teens and the Elderly: participated in New Orleans Jazz Festival and traveled Europe. Mr. Small would be a valuable addition to the Blues Hall of Fame ®.
