Lonnie Shields The Blues Soul of Lonnie Shields

So far with the wonderful DVDs shot by Blues Archive we have presented legends - U.P. Wilson, Larry Garner and Otis Grand. With Lonnie Shields we have a 'new generation' bluesman who, at the time, was poised to be one of the next big names. This was then Lonnie's only ever English gig, and what better place than The 100 Club - the London home of blues music for several decades. Lonnie's a serious artist but is also a consummate showman (from the tough circuit of clubs where he comes from you better be) and a natural frontman. His music represents an association with the sounds of Deep Southern American blues and the legends that made it.
