It’s been a while since I’ve made it to New York so stumbling on a Floyd Lee video made me a bit nostalgic since listening to him play in the subway is one of the better things a visitor like myself can do in the big apple. (It sure beats doing the gallery scene!)
The last time I saw him I picked up his 2003 “Mad As Hell In Crappy Blues” CD which is a fun album, although like it’s often the case, it doesn’t really contain the same excitement as hearing him live. However it would seem that the recent years has helped put a few well deserved spotlights on Mr. Lee, notably a movie Full Moon Lightnin’ and some new recordings that seem a lot closer to conveying the high energy Floyd Lee, who is in his seventies (!), has when playing; looks like good company!
