Search - The New Jack Hippies Little Joe Washington :: Earthwire Blue

This 'earthwire blue' CD was recorded live at earthwire.net, Houston, Texas' groundbreaking internet radio station and performance space (2000-2002), where Guy Schwartz & the New Jack Hippies backed up veteran bluesman and Houston?s favorite homeless musician Little Joe Washington for Mike 'the big MF' Farber and Kingfish Keith?s 'Hour of Truth & Texas Music' program. Excellent improvisational performances and audio. Little Joe?s chaotic guitar mash of blues/zydeco/ and jazz make his sparsely melodic vocals stand out over the handsomely steady, workmen-like back beat generated by Guy Schwartz & the New Jack Hippies. This is a rare straight through performance by Little Joe, better known locally for his entertainingly nomadic and quick appearances throughout Houston?s clubs where he ?passes the hat? . It?s a perfect snapshot of his musical genius and the wonderful gift that earthwire.net gave to its? community and via electronics, to the world. Recorded by Guy Schwartz & Marlo Blue Mixed live and Mastered by Michael Farber Produced by Michael Farber for Guerilla Hippies Productions Recorded live to 2 tracks at earthwire.net , February 9, 2002.
