Blues artist Lucky Peterson's albums

Recommended Posts

I have liked what I have heard of blues artists Lucky Peterson, both live and on his recordings. I think he is a very versatile musician. He plays piano and organ well. He recorded a credible version of Thelonious Monk's "Well You Needn't" on organ, for example. But his electric guitar soloing is where I think he is truly phenomenal, an excellent soloist by any standard.

I have some of his albums. He seems to want to stay away from his blues electric guitar soloing, and present himself as a well rounded musician, with soulful vocals and tunes, some acoustic guitar stylings, and a lot of keyboards. I can respect all of that. But, does he have any albums where he records a lot of electric guitar solos?

Does anyone know that? I would like to avoid buying twenty or more of his albums to find the few where he does a lot of electric guitar soloing. The online reviews of his albums do not seem to mention this fact one way or the other.

Thanks.

I can answer, as I believe I have all of his leader recordings.

His most guitar focused recording is the most recently released one--Travelin' Man, on JSP. It is quite good.

Also, while you're at it, Son of A Bluesman (also a recent release) features an absolutely great guitar instrumental, Nana Jarnell.
