Eddie Boyd - Five Long Years (with Buddy Guy, Jimmy Lee Robinson, Freddy Below) (1965)

Amen the best ..Eric played it well , but this is the sht!

Eddie Boyd made the best blues piano music I have ever heard. His bluesy vocals fits it so nicely.

so lovely to see live footage of an era long gone. Still enjoying the music is priceless to great musicians. Thanks. :D

Thank you for keeping one of the greats alive. This is Real Blues Power!

Wow!!! Nice!!! Have you ever been mistreated you know what lm talking about!!! That you do!!! Thank you!! Old fred sure been around excellent drummer indeed.Once again Thank you bluesman.

Lovely tone on this one.

That's Buddy Guy on guitar...he doesn't play like that anymore.

I had the privilege to meet Eddie and his lovely wife when I was still a kid, when my father brought him home after they met in a jazz club in Antwerp in the early 60’s. We met a second time at the home of a friend, who had a piano - they played all night, with only a bottle of bourbon as compensation - a true musician in heart and soul.

Those 4 thumbs down - what ails you? A hole in your soul?

Eddie Boyd performed in 1967 with our most famous Dutch Blues band "Cuby and the Blizzards". Eddie stayed a while in Grollo, a small farmervillage in the east of Holland and the hometown of Cuby. The result of their cooperation was a superb album named "Praise the Blues". Every track on this album contains the blues as it should be.

Thanks so much for posting this. This is brilliant. I really love Clapton's version, too (on 'From The Cradle'), and Ike Turner's version is something else - harrowing in the extreme, and brilliant.

I feel like Memphis slim mustve really been influenced by this man....heard the peter green album the other day and decided to dig deeper...pretty cool Anyone know what label he was on?
