Description
The Dirty Blues Band was a blues band from the West Coast of the United States in the late 1960s. They recorded two albums, both of which were released in 1968. The first album features original material and the second album features well-known Willie Dixon standards. Glenn Ross Campbell, who would later found the Misunderstood, is featured on the first album.
Part of a relatively obscure West Coast blues scene based in
Riverdale, California, in the late 1960s, the Dirty Blues Band
played straightforward, lovingly attentive, and competently
rendered electric blues. This twofer collects the band's first two
albums, both released in 1968, and finds them riffing on a mix of
stinging originals and well-known Willie Dixon standards such as
Spoonful, Bring It on Home, and I Can't Quit You, Baby. Of
particular note to collectors is the presence of Glenn Ross
Campbell, who, following a move to the U.K., would found the
Misunderstood and later Juicy Lucy.
