The Blues Is Here To Stay - EDDIE BOYD



Chicago blues singer and piano player Eddie Boyd recorded many fine sides for small labels in the late 50s and 60s. Eight of his recordings for the Bea & Baby Records label from Chicago (active between 1960-72) can be found on a wonderful 2CD compilation, released on Sanctuary Records in 2002. “The Blues Is Here To Stay” is one of the most exuberant blues tracks I know, not only because of the cheerful music but especially because Boyd sounds so damn pride while singing and playing the blues: “I don’t care what some people say. Just play the blues with a feeling, I know the blues is here to stay!” Right on!
