Dirty Blues Band – Dirty Blues Band (1967) (@256)
31 May 2010
(Review from amazon)
Part of a relatively obscure West Coast blues scene based in Riverdale, California, in the late 1960s, the Dirty Blues Band played straightforward, lovingly attentive, and competently rendered electric blues. Their selftitled debut album was rushly recorded in two days.
Despite being based on the West Coast, the Dirty Blues Band deliver tough Chicago style blues, having been heavily influenced by the Paul Butterfield band. Its hard to believe that Rod Piazza was barely 19 when he recorded this album. His trademark fat toned harmonica sound and technique were surprisingly already well developed. Organist Pat Malone plays nice vibrant fills.
Comprised of covers of blues standards and a few Piazza originals in the same mold, this album is similar to the early Butterfield records.
The band seemed to have a promising future ahead of them. However the group’s whole rhythm section was called to military. After this event, Campbell exited seeing no future for the group.
