Chicago blues pianist Eddie Boyd only released one album for Mike Vernons Blue Horizon label (7936 South Rhodes), so in addition to those 12 tracks, this reissue scrapes together another four rarities from around the same period (1967-1968) & two from 1960 to expand the song listing to 18. The bulk of this recording was laid down in a single day, a situation that kept the energy flowing in the studio. This was producer Vernons second session with Boyd -- two leftover tunes from his 1967 Decc ...

In the liner notes for Tear This World Up, Eddie C. Campbell makes an interesting observation about 21st century guitarists who try to emulate the West Side Chicago blues of the 1960s. " Not too many people can play it, " Campbell asserts, "A lot try, but then, they get mad & change it into Jimi Hendrix." Indeed, going for that Magic Sam-type of sound isnt easy -- add too much psychedelic feedback, amplification, & distortion, & you can end up in Hendrix/hard rock/early heavy metal territor ...

That Higgins is a virtuoso pianist is not in question; in fact, his group works with Wayne Shorter, Eddie Harris, trio sessions, & duets with wife Meredith DAmbrosio are all solid prior examples of his substantial talent. This is his first all solo piano disc, & its a beaut. Though well versed in bop, modern mainstream, & Swing-era styles, Higgins is a very competent stride pianist, albeit on the lighter side. Proof positive is offered during several of the 14 tracks, including " Cant Ge ...
