Tail Dragger - vocals, recorded 2013

As a bonus “Tail’s Tale” gives a palpable sense of the time and place in which these musicians performed and persevered. Dragger provides frank accountings of the murder of his business partner, Iron Jaw Harris, of pervasive drugs, crime and violence, but also cites a litany of musicians both great and small who comprised the west side blues scene of the time and kept the blue flame burning.

Listen to Dragger's wild tales of murder, drugs, blues characters and legends from the West Side- Iron Jaw Harris, Necktie Nate, Little Mack Simmons, Howlin Wolf, Artie Blues Boy White, Arlean Brown, Mojo Elem, Left Hand Frank, Eddie Taylor, Shorty Gilbert, Mojo Blues Band, Jimmy Dawkins, Lee "Shot" Williams and more!
