Curley Wilson Bridges was born on February 7, 1934, in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, just outside Raleigh. His father, who was a friend of Fats Waller, worked as a farmer and musician, and his mother was a church organist. Regarding this CD, "... rompin', stompin' blues shoutin' pianist with loads of good-time spirit and a great big voice that's one of a kind." - Real Blues. A strong singer, Curley gets plenty of space to showcase his two-handed piano style on material that will be somewhat familiar, but is given distinctive readings. Chris Whiteley adds nice trumpet or harp to several tracks. Overall, this album has many very enjoyable performances by Curley.
