about

Over 90 minutes of crucial houserockin’ blues from Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials. Lil’ Ed Williams carries on the ultra-raw bottleneck blues tradition of Chicago. From smoking slide guitar boogies to romping shuffles to the deepest slow blues, Williams is a true bluesman. He’s a wildman guitarist, a remarkably gritty and soulful vocalist, and a songwriter who combines the toughest blues emotions with a great sense of humor. Along with his blistering, road-tested band, the Blues Imperials, Lil’ Ed has been tearing up clubs and festival stages all over the world for nearly 30 years, with no signs of slowing down. This Best Of includes fan favorites Chicken, Gravy & Biscuits, Pride & Joy, Midnight Rider, Icicles In My Meatloaf and 16 more!

Hutto. Michael Garrett and Kelly Littleton joined Ed and Pookie in the Blues Imperials 35 years ago, delivering joyful boogies and serious slide-driven Chicago blues. ... more
