Dirty Blues Band - Sittin Down Wonderin

Formed in Riverside, California, USA, in 1967, the Dirty Blues Band evolved out of several groups active in the region. The Dirty Blues Band offered a mixture of classic songs from Albert King, Sonny Boy Williamson and Willie Dixon, sprinkled with stylised originals in first two albums, both released in 1968.
Its hard to believe that Rod Piazza was barely 19 when he recorded the first LP of this 2 album collection.
His trade mark fat toned harmonica sound and technique were surprisingly already well developed.
Despite being based on the West Coast, the Dirty Blues Band deliver tough Chicago style blues, having been heavily influenced by the Paul Butterfield Band.
On album 1 we also get the bonus of Glenn Ross Campbell who had been rescued by Piazza from the ruins of the cult band the misunderstood.
