A mainstay of the Buddy Guy\/Junior Wells bands of the &#8217;70s (he was scheduled to participate in a Wells tribute at the 1999 Chicago Blues Festival), you can currently catch him with his band, the Chi-Town Hustlers. Says the Chicago Reader, though he &#8220;has always sounded to me as if he&#8217;d rather be playing funk than blues, he&#8217;s a solid craftsman whose tendency to overplay is tempered by a solid rhythmic sense and an energetic attack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Toured with Bo Diddley, James Cotton, Jimmy Walker, Carey Bell, Lurrie Bell &amp; Billy Branch, Margie Evans, etc. Recorded with Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, Syl Johnson, Lurrie Bell &amp; Billy Branch, etc. Founded the Chi-Town Hustlers in 1976. Also played with Jimmy Reed, Bobby Rush, Lonnie Brooks, John Lee Hooker, BB King, Big Mama Thorton.<\/p>\n<p>With his amazing vocal range, from the deepest to the utter most amazing signature falsetto, J.W. will bring the real-deal driving Chicago Blues to any party!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Headliner | Bass | Vocals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2229,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=84"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=84"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=84"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagobluesrevue.com\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=84"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
