Sharon Lewis & Texas Fire: “Blues Train”
Vocalist Sharon Lewis made her Delmark debut in 2007 as a guest vocalist on guitarist Dave Specter’s Live in Chicago, but her real coming-out party was 2011's The Real Deal, her first Delmark project as a front-line artist. It showcased her stylistic versatility, as she ranged from 12-bar barnburners through covers of soul and R&B standards to heartfelt spiritual meditations and barbed social commentary. In “Blues Train” she leads us on a jubilant Windy City pub crawl, complete with shout-outs to some of Chicago’s best-known blues clubs and their proprietors. Party on!
