BILL BLUE BAND LP STREETPREACHER (Feather Records 7001 stereo). Released 1975.
Very few copies of this truly inspiring record were made. Released around the same time as "Greetings From Asbury Park NJ," Streetpreacher shares much with that great album. Bill Blue cut his teeth at the same Grace St. Richmond VA clubs where Short Cross & Springsteen's band Childe played on a monthly basis. Bruce Courson's beautiful piano playing on Streetpreacher would've made a great foil to Springsteen's versing. C-heck out "Ain't It Funny" (5:10), which got steady airplay on Richmond's WGOE. Also Willie Dixon's "Little Red Rooster."
Bill Blue on guitar, dobro, harmonica & vocals. Johnnie Pierce on lead guitar. Bill "Dodah" Robison drums. Great textured cover & custom label design. Possibly the only release on Feather Records. Recorded at Alpha Audio, the same studio where Short Cross cut its wonderful Psych rarity. (Etched matrix number: "7001 #1 Pete Helffrich").
