KING BISCUIT BOY

"Urban Blues Re:Newell" (BW #124)

 

Richard Newell (aka King Biscuit Boy) is Canada's premier blues artist. Biscuit's early 70's releases with the band Crowbar are certified Bluesrockin' classics and his fine and funky 1974 Epic Records LP was produced by legendary New Orleans songwriter/producer Allen Toussaint. "After listening to this 146 times, I think it's safe to say it's the best thing Biscuit's ever done and the best ever by a Canadian artist."- A.G. West Coast Blues Review

 

The other day I heard cuts from the 1995 Juno Award nominees for Blues and Gospel. Of five artists, only one stood out: King Biscuit Boy. As it was in 1971, so it was in 1995. 1971 - If you're under 25, you weren't born yet. No matter. Wayne Brideaux (Vox Magazine)
