(First aired on WUTC 9/14/24)In Chicago, a city overflowing with unrivaled blues talent, world-renowned Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials have been standing tall for almost 30 years. The band's big sound, fueled by Lil' Ed's gloriously rollicking slide work and deep blues string bending, along with his rough-edged, soulful vocals, is as real and hard-hitting as Chicago blues gets.After playing around town in various clubs during the 80s, the band was invited into the recording studio by Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer, and the end result of the session was 30 songs cut in three hours with no overdubs and only one second take. Twelve of those songs became the band's debut album, Roughhousin', released in September of 1986.Nine albums and thousands of performances later, Lil' Ed is now universally hailed as a giant of the genre. Lil' Ed and The Blues Imperials—bassist (and Ed's half-brother) James “Pookie” Young, guitarist Mike Garrett, and drummer Kelly Littleton—have remained together for nearly 30 years (an extraordinary feat for any group), the band fueling Ed's songs with their rock-solid, road-tested, telepathic musicianship.The Big Sound Of Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials is the musically electrifying, emotionally intense and downright fun new album from the band Guitar Player calls “a snarling boogie-blues machine…they blow down the walls.” With this new album, the band continues to bring their blistering Chicago blues to “Ed Heads” new and old. Their infectious energy, joyful showmanship and masterful playing have been honed to a razor's edge by their many years together.Lil' Ed, Pookie, Mike and Kelly have seen sports stars and presidents, musical fads and fashion trends come and go. Meanwhile, their fiery music has more than stood the test of time. “We're not band members,” says Williams, “we're family, and families stay together.” Night after night, gig after riotous gig, the musical family called Lil' Ed & The Blues Imperials bring their big, dynamic Chicago blues sound to fans across the country and around the world.Episode Tracklist: Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials - "If You Were Mine"J.B. Hutto - "Speak My Mind"J.B. Hutto - "Lulu Belle's Here"Blind Willie Johnson - "Dark Was the Night"Sister Rosetta Tharpe - "Rock Me"Mississippi Fred McDowell - "You Gotta Move"Lil Ed and the Blues Impreials - "Troubled World"Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials - "You Done Me Wrong For the Last Time"The Nighthawks - "Come Baby"Satan and Adam - "Big Boss Man"Frank Sinatra - "Fly Me to the Moon (In Other Words)"The Police - "It's Alright For You"Jimi Hendrix - "Red House"Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials - "Natural Man"Lil Ed and the Blues Imperials - "Giving Up On Your Love"The Songbirds Radio Hour is made possible through grants from the Tennessee Arts Commission and the Riverview Foundation.

Recorded in 2009 in Charleston, WV as part of FestivALL. Podcast support provided by Digital Relativity.

In childhood, Williams and his half-brother James "Pookie" Young received encouragement and tutelage from their uncle, the blues guitarist, songwriter and recording artist J. B. Hutto, and by 1975 the half-siblings had formed the first version of the Blues Imperials. Since 1989, the band's lineup has been Williams (lead guitar and vocals), Michael Garrett (rhythm guitar and vocals), James Young (bass) and Kelly Littleton (drums). Living Blues magazine described the band as "Rough-and-ready South and West Side blues...Ed's swirling, snarling slide guitar work can be riveting, and The Imperials pound out blues-rock riffs and rhythms behind him as if they're overdosing on boogie juice." Guitar Player called the band "a snarling boogie-blues machine."   A decade later, Alligator Records offered them the chance to record a track, "Young Thing", for a compilation album, New Bluebloods (1987). Producer and label owner Bruce Iglauer encouraged them to record additional material, and they cut a full album's worth of material at that session, released as Roughhousin' (1986). They then appeared at music festivals and toured widely. Their second album, Chicken, Gravy & Biscuits, was released in 1989, and their third, What You See Is What You Get, in 1992. At this point the group disbanded. Williams issued two solo albums, Keep On Walking, on which he was joined by Dave Weld, a former member of the Blues Imperials, and Who's Been Talking (1998), pairing Williams with Willie Kent.   In 1999 the release of Get Wild marked the group's reunion. It was followed by Heads Up (2002), Rattleshake (2006), Full Tilt (2008) and Jump Start (2012).   Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials have appeared multiple times at the Chicago Blues Festival and festivals and clubs around the world. In June 2008, Williams played on Magic Slim's album Midnight Blues. In June 2009, Williams was a guest on the radio quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, produced by Chicago Public Radio and National Public Radio, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials have been nominated for eight Blues Music Awards as Band of the Year and have won that award twice.

In this episode of Exploring the Blues in Chicago, Brett David Stewart sits down briefly with Keith Dixon of the Blues Heaven Foundation to discuss the important role independent record labels played in the formative years of Chicago blues. Dixon’s grandfather was Willie Dixon, and the foundation is located at the old Chess Records building and studio. Furthermore, Stewart discusses the blues with Bruce Iglauer, the founder of Alligator Records in the city of Chicago. With a catalog of over 300 releases, Alligator is responsible for some of the most legendary blues recordings in history. Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Johnny Winter, Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials, amongst countless others, have had their music released on Alligator.

Chicago blues treasure Li'l Ed Williams (Li'l Ed and the Blues Imperials) jumps in my car for a burger, as well as conversation about the blues and his career. Before I started rolling tape, I had to shatter Ed's illusions of what Car Con Carne was about ("I didn't know what to expect. I thought you might pull up in a limo"). It's worth mentioning here that you should see Ed play. He's got some big Chicago gigs coming up: B.L.U.E.S. (1/6 and 1/7) Opening for Buddy Guy at Buddy Guy's Legends (1/20) So anyway, we got our food to go from The Dogout in Bannockburn (2567 Waukegan Rd, Bannockburn, IL 60015). He got a cheeseburger. I got a Polish. We talked about: *Ed and food: He has lots of songs about eating *BBQ. Ed goes big when he does his summertime backyard BBQs. *Concert preparation("I used to try setlists") *38 years and counting with the Blues Imperials ("We are family now") *Lessons learned from blues legends like James Cotton and Muddy Waters ("I have a high respect for those guys... they played from their heart and they played with feeling and happiness.") *Rolling Stones covering the blues ("It brings the blues up a step") *The difference in playing clubs today (drinking's less fun, and you can't smoke) *His relationship with Conan O'Brien, and their first meeting *The new album, "The Big Sound of Li'l Ed and the Blues Imperials" *The (truly) surprising place Ed goes for BBQ *The Li'l Ed and the Blues Imperials difference: They're *fun* *His darker days and falling into drugs ("God gave me a second chance")

Michael Rank plays three tracks from Red Hand and talks about listening to early folk rock through his sister’s bedroom door & how he produces his albums. This week I’ve got new rock & roll from music from Reckless Kelly, blues from Lil’ Ed and the Blues Imperials, americana from 3hattrio, plus more music from The Walcotts, Reagan Boggs, and Seth Walker. "Michael Rank finds his soft rock sound (Ep318)" originated from Americana Music Show.

Lil Ed Williams is one of a kind. With his trademark Fez hat which symbolizes an African crown and his torturous slide guitar, Lil Ed Williams embodies the spirit of his famous uncle, J.B. Hutto and has become one of the biggest names in the blues. He is an award winning artist who is set to release his ninth full-length recording for acclaimed Alligator records called ‘The Big Sound of Lil Ed & the Blues Imperials.’ When he hits the road to promote his new album, he’ll be greeted by mobs of devoted followers called “Ed Heads”; with popular late night talk-show host Conan O’Brien being their most high profile member.

Welcome back to Murphy's Saloon, Podcast Home of the Blues. I hope you had as much fun over the holidays as I did. I'm looking forward to the Murphy's Saloon Podcast getting bigger and better in 2006. I hope you have as much fun listening as I do putting the shows together. Since both Black & Tan Records, and Alligator Records joined the Podsafe Music Network in December, I think a show featuring artists from both labels was the obvious way to go this week. Hence, tonight's theme. • Ain't Good Lookin' by Billy Jones. • Running To New Orleans Byther Smith. • Mountain Top by Boo Boo Davis. • Jona Lee by Roomful of Blues. • Big City by Luther Allison. • Natural Man by Lil' Ed and The Blues Imperials. Also, Alligator Records is here, and Black & Tan Records is here. The Murphy's Saloon intro is from Rocket Science by Brain Buckit and the show outro is from Play This by Dave at the Chub Creek Podcast. If you'd like to see where some Murphy's Saloon listeners live, you can check out the Murphy's Friends map over here, and perhaps put up a push pin of your own.

Whether I'm here or not, it's still the finest blues you've never heard.
