Description: | Jay McShannâ??s "Confessin' the Blues", mostly written by the band's freshly recruited singer Walter Brown, became a big hit selling 500.000 copies. It was one of the most influential records for the young Chuck Berry, who actually sang it on his very first public performance in 1941 at the high school he attended. The indubitable strength and vitality of this blues are easily demonstrated by the fact that itâ??s still going strong today, right alongside younger genres. It was this very groundbreaking music from the pioneers like Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Howlinâ?? Wolf, John Lee Hooker, and Bo Diddley that still makes the present music sounds as it does today. - CONFESSIN' THE BLUES"Confessin' The Blues" is one of the covers that was played by an upcoming band from London. It was in the London jazz scene that this American music was allowed to perform 'alive' on stage. These covers were the songs from American 'R&B and Rock & Roll' heroes Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, Chuck Berry and Amos Milburn that included; "Confessin' The Blues", "Bright Lights Big City", "Down The Road A Piece" and "Dust My Broom". These songs became the fundaments from the most important band of the British Invasion in the U.S.A. in 1964. It were these Londoners that were identified with the youthful and rebellious counterculture of the 1960s. Until today there still the greatest Rock 'n' Roll band on Earth. |
