This drummer is associated with the
blues scene in Los Angeles, particularly the
Pioneer Club.
Smokey Wilson--a
blues singer from Mississippi who on a good night can sound like
Howlin' Wolf himself--was the manager of this legendary venue, often the scene of hair-raising encounters between
Wilson and harmonica-chewer
William Clarke. Particulary fine documentation of such mid '80s happenings have been released on the Black Magic label; drummer
John Moore also is featured on several of
Clarke's releases. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide
