Electric Chicago Blues, Harmonica Blues, Blues-Rock

Classic 1977 London Sessions featuring Billy Boy Arnold w/ The Groundhogs. It happened during the autumn in London in 1977. Billy Boy was touring Europe and entrepreneur Peter Shertser came up with the idea that Billy Boy should record an album with The Groundhogs at Pathway Studios, North London. Billy Boy gelled immediately with the white boy's blues rock of The Groundhogs and jammed with the band until they were tight and ready to record the album. And what an album with Billy Boy's singing and harmonica and Tony S McPhee's slide technique and outstanding licks. As one reviewer said back in1979 "Briefly and simply, this album contains some of the best blues of the 70's and some of Billy Boy Arnold's best music ever."

I had it in disc form a long time ago when I did live in Islington. It was then borrowed and never returned and I also forgot about it. I have just rediscovered it on Amazon as a download and am very happy to be re-united with it. When it came out Punk Rock had just started smothering everyone with it's arrogant, attention seeking, antics. Meanwhile Tony Mc Phee was getting a recording session together with Billy Boy Arnold, which was completely ignored by the music press who were too busy licking various parts of the punk eras loud mouthed luminaries. Anyway, enough about the historical histrionics. This album sits in close proximity to Howlin' Wolf's 'London Sessions' album as a Blues classic. It has a nice raw sound more akin to a practice session, which it may have possibly been. The Groundhogs had just had about 7 years at the top of their game as a big rock/blues act, so they were totally match-fit for this recording. I have no criticism about the recording because I think it's great. Why the song that I have always known as 'Ain't Got You' has, seemingly, been re-christened 'Eldorado Cadillac' leaves me a bit confused though. Even on Billy Boy Arnold's more recent album, called 'Eldorado Cadillac', the track is called 'Aint Got You'. So who knows ?!!!…….If there are any chronically knowledgeable blues music geeks out there who know the answer….keep it to yourself. I won't be dying of personal ignorance just yet.
