LIVE AT THE NEW BLUE BIRD NITE CLUB

1973
Voici un puissant et vigoureux concert capturé en 1973 dans une bouillante atmosphère. Bon chanteur, Robert Ealey délivre un programme uniquement constitué de reprises, bien supporté par des musiciens dynamiques. On apprécie, en particulier, "Black night", "Turn on your lovelight" et "Sweet sixteen". Artiste régulier du Blue Bird Nite Club, il en devient même le co-gérant entre 1977 et 1994.

Edité d'abord localement, ce disque fut longtemps difficile à trouver. Il s'agit d'une séance produite par Tone Sommer. Un programme inégal proposant de bons moments comme "Red dog", "Come on baby", "Big leg woman", "Don't bite", "Baby don't work", "Coulda had it".
