At the age of 29, Martin Lang has spent half his life playing and studying the music of the Chicago Blues masters. Not only has he paid his dues in the south and west side clubs, he's also played with and learned directly from many of the veterans who were part of the Chicago blues harp scene in the 1950s. Here he's supported by one of the men who was there are the birth of that scene, the guitarist on some of Little Walter's greatest recordings, Dave Myers. Thanks to the rock-solid and sympathetic support, Martin beautifully captures the swinging phrasing and rolling rhythms that are the essence of the classic Chicago style.
