Big Pete Pearson may not be a household blues name, but he has been around for 50 years,
that’s right 50, playing the blues. His new CD “I’m Here Baby” is living proof that he
has the stuff. Having previously sat in with everyone that is someone, like T-bone Walker,
Big Joe Turner, B.B. King, Jimmy Reed, Bobby Blue Bland, John Lee Hooker, and even Muddy
he has the backbone to stand on his own and sound great.
Check out the talented folks he has invited to play on this newest cut. W.C. Clark, who happens to be his cousin, Ike Turner, and Kid Ramos on guitar, Johnny Dyer on harp, and Joey De Francesco on Hammond B-3 organ. I mean, come on now. Pete has been playing since he snuck off to a beer joint at 9 years old, in Austin, Texas. His Grandparents thought he was playing guitar, and singing in a local church. Well, somehow, he managed to live through that, and has been playing ever since. Being based in Phoenix, Arizona he won “Blues Performer of The Year” in Phoenix in 2001. What a huge voice. They call him a “Blues Shouter.” He doesn’t have to shout, he’s got some power here, and it is a really good CD. I mean just excellent blues. Guitar, organ, harp, vocals, it is the old stuff we yearn for. A fine recording as well. Thanks Big Pete. --- Blue Barry, Blues Source (February 2007) |
