http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Rush_...#Biography
Fabulous rousing set with blues funk band Blinddog Smokin! Last track Too Much Weekend is outstanding!
Mr. Rush has been making outstanding recordings for 35 years and on the "chitlin circuit" (nightclubs/theater appearances for Black folks) for 60+. As much as I like him, I need to caution that he sings about life from a street-level, very raw POV with raw language--hard-R or rougher. A good intro is this CD/DVD from a decade ago: http://www.allmusic.com/album/live-at-gr...0000572019
A man accustomed to hear only the echo of his own sentiments, soon bars all the common avenues of delight, and has no part in the general gratification of mankind--Dr. Johnson
