notes

Jerry "Boogie" McCain is the greatest post war harp player alive today. In 2001 he remains at the height of his powers, constantly writing and delivering amazing live performances with the energy of a teenager. Born in 1930 in Gadsden, Alabama, Jerry began playing his harp and singing along with jukebox records at his fathers barbecue stand, the Green Front Cafe. He began recording in the early 50s for the Trumpet label making records of his unique blend of country swing and down-home blues. In 55 he recorded for the Excello label and he has continued making great records in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s and 2002 Jerry is working on his next project, "Boogie is my Name."

  • Another Great CD
    author: Keith E. Brown

    I never tire of listening to this straight ahead, straight from the heart great performer. One sweet harp player, fine blues vocalist and the song lyrics are very clever and enjoyable.

  • Great CD with top notch Harmonica and lyrics!
    author: Lance

    Jerry "Boogie" McCain is awesom! His command of the Harmonica, rhythm and expression are wonderful. This is the real deal, with nice twists along the way, not some "cookie cutter" sound. He also brings a lot to the table with great lyrics, tight backup and high-end recording quality. This CD will appeal to hard core and casual fans of the Blues.

  • Great sounds :)
