Blues Hall of Famer and three-time Grammy nominee, harmonica great and singer-songwriter Billy Branch, releases his career-defining album, the aptly named The Blues Is My Biography. The septuagenarian is still hailed as the successor to Little Walter as the “King of Chicago Blues Harmonica,” Branch is opening a new chapter with this release. The Blues Is My Biography is the inaugural release for Rosa’s Lounge Records, from the city’s stalwart live music blues club of the same name. It is only appropriate as Branch and his band, the Sons of Blues, were the first act of the day when the nightclub opened 41 years ago.
The album was recorded in both Alameda, CA (4 tracks) and Chicago (7 tracks), so the cast of players differs depending on the location.
