    "Defiant, electric blues with piercing intensity and raw venom that'll leave your ears singed."–Chicago Tribune.


    Guitarist/vocalist and blues legend Guitar Shorty is a man of the people. With the ability to pack clubs and festivals as one of the blues' most celebrated live performers (even before he had any nationally available recordings) and now among the top-selling recording artists in the blues world, he is clearly the people's choice. Between his blistering, rocked-out guitar work and his fierce, soulful vocals, the power of his music is unmatched, and his perceptive and meaningful lyrics unique among modern bluesmen. Credited with influencing both Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Guy, Shorty has been electrifying audiences for five decades with his supercharged live shows and his incendiary recordings (beginning in 1957 with a Willie Dixon-produced single on the Cobra label). Through the years, Shorty has performed and toured with blues and R&B luminaries Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, B.B. King, Guitar Slim and T-Bone Walker. Winner Blues Music Award for Best Contemporary Foreign Blues Album of the Year (1991) and Best Contemporary Blues Album of the Year (2007).
