If you've lived in the Bay Area and you dig the Blues then you probably know of Jackie Payne. A very smooth dude with an all-pro delivery. A very nice man as well, almost forgot about him until my Unky C handed me this one - if you like it, I have a couple more.
"I Saw The Blues"" is the latest release from veteran bluesman, Jackie
Payne. The 12 tracks feature 6 original songs by Jackie and 6
interesting cover tunes. Payne has been recording and performing since
the 60s including stints with Albert Collins, Johnny Otis and more
recently the Jackie Payne & Steve Edmonson Band. His 3 recordings
with Edmonson on the Delta Groove label received many accolades
including a number of Blues Music Award nominations. ""I Saw The Blues""
features some of the San Francisco Bay Area's finest musicians
including Kid Andersen, Anthony Paule, Derrick D'Mar Martin, Bob Welsh,
Lorenzo Farrell, Ed Early, and others. This CD was recorded at the
famous Greaseland Studios in San Jose and mastered by Tom Size."
