Click here for Special pricing order form  formerly the House of Blues Radio Hour Here is what ELLWOOD’S BLUESMOBILE HAS TO SAY: Thanks for tuning in on Saturday March 8 and Sunday March 9 for a special Interview with Eddy ‘THE CHIEF’ Clearwater. Please Listen to the interview with Eddy and Dan Akroyd (Ellwood Blues): 
 I’m excited to be going back into my favorite studio, RAXX TRAX with Rick Barnes to record my next album on Alligator Records. I have been listening to some great new tunes and I will be updating behind the scenes photos from the studio. Here is one of me and Rick during the recording of the House of Blues Radio, Ellwood’s BluesMobile.  ON THE AIR: For a Bluesman getting into the studio to perform is a task at 7:45 am in the morning unless of course it is with two of Chicago’s most talented and beautiful on air personalities, Melissa Forman and Jean Sparrow the hosts of WCIU television’s, ‘You and Me This Morning.’ I had a lot of fun wrapping up Black History Month and performing two of my favorite Blues songs, ‘Came Up The Hard Way’ and ‘Lonesome Town’..... When we were off air the girls asked if I had a weather related song and I sure did! ‘Chicago Weather Woman’ seems to fit the winter blues — with the windchill of 9 below and a fresh layer of snow we need some blues to get us through Chiberia. Here it is just for you: 
 Eddy Clearwater brings a wide array of influences to the party. Gospel, country, ‘50s rock, and deep-down blues are all incorporated into his slashing guitar attack. But when he puts his mind to it, “The Chief” (a nickname accrued from his penchant for donning Native American headdresses on-stage) is one of the Windy City’s finest bluesmen. My beautiful wife, Renee' brought six birthday cakes that everybody had a piece of during intermission.   What a Blues Party at My House... Shoji Naito, Stephen Bass, Billy Flynn, Billy Branch, Johnny Iguana, Wayne Baker Brooks, Tom Crivellone, Dave Knauf with Renee Greenman, Lynn Orman Weiss, Abbe Silverberg Sparks, Elaine Lazarus-Hausheer   Thank you to all of my fans and friends from around the world for joining me in celebrating my 80th birthday. It was a memorable evening with Billy Branch, Wayne Baker Brooks, Mark Weidra and Billy Flynn joining me on stage. The Sold Out Show was filled with friends and family including my newest friend, Dr. Hector Ferral. Dr. Ferral loves the Blues and Renee and I love this man he is a miracle worker with hands of gold.    Here is a special bonus: Shot at the live recording of my 79th birthday by Paul Chen: Here is a video recorded at Eddy's 79th Birthday show at Evanston SPACE Here is some video of one of the songs we performed featuring special guest Ronnie Baker Brooks.
