Notes: After appearing at the 1993 Lowcountry Blues Bash in Charleston, South Carolina, septagenarian blues singer Big Boy Henry retreated to a local recording studio with some of his musical buddies to record an impromptu album of Piedmont blues classics and new original numbers. Chicago Bob Nelson added his formidable harmonica; Dave Peabody (visiting from London) dazzled on acoustic guitar & backing vocals; Shrimp City Slim (Gary Erwin, who also produced the album) rocked the house on piano and washboard, with an ace rhythm section of Jay Niver on drums (from Blue Light Special) and Ted Donlon on bass (from The Flatcats). A further bonus: blues diva Sandra Hall makes her very first CD appearance, singing with Big Boy on several numbers. The fun lasted for two days and the CD was released in April, 1993. Considered to be the quintessential document of this beloved and influential bluesman, "Carolina Blues Jam" belongs in any serious collection of downhome blues.
