West Side Chicago bluesman Larry Taylor s honor the 100th birthday of their father, Eddie Taylor, with this collection of 13 old-school songs

Larry Taylor, eldest of the second-generation Taylor family, was just two years old in 1957 when his mother Vera, a blues singer, piano player and songwriter from Clarksdale, Mississippi, met Eddie Taylor in Douglass Park on the West Side of Chicago. Inspired by the drummers on Maxwell Street, and musicians who visited their West Side apartment, Larry at age five created his first drum set from cardboard boxes and pot tops. By the late 70's and through the 90's, Larry performed and recorded with Chicago Blues royalty including John Lee Hooker, Junior Wells, Albert Collins, Albert King and of course, Eddie Taylor Sr. He formed his own band of West and South Side musicians in 2004 and has made it a point to bring blues back to the neighborhoods where it started. In 2020, Larry received an Esteemed Artist Award from the Chicago Department of Culture and Special Events.
