and featuring the multi-talented Al Blake on harmonica and vocals, Hollywood Fats almost
single-handedly ignited a traditional blues revival that still echoes loudly to this day.
Whenever you hear the warm retro sounds of classic Chicago blues coupled with a swinging
rhythm section & tasty-but-nasty
debut by Hollywood Fats.
This historical live recording makes it the first release by the original Hollywood Fats Band

The Hollywood Blue Flames emerged from the smoldering embers of The Hollywood Fats Band,

This is a DOUBLE CD extravaganza featuring special guest performances by blues legends
Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, Roy Brown, Kim Wilson, Junior Watson, and a rare vocal
