My prayers go out to all of the beautiful people of France. The country I so love to perform in. My last full length DVD was produced there. The most wonderful friends and fans live in France and Belgium. I am heartbroken by this tragedy.

THANK YOU AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING
I want to thank all my fans, friends and family for these 80 years of celebrating life. One never knows where the journey will take you. For me, from Macon, Mississippi to Birmingham, Alabama to Chicago — The inspiration for writing “Came Up The Hard Way” is a true reflection of working all night and day just to make a living as so many of my ancestors had to do. I am so grateful and thankful that at 15 years old I was able to have the courage to take a Greyhound Bus to Chicago and follow my heart and my passion of playing the blues. I am grateful to my uncle, who gave me the encouragement to play the blues and gave me my first record deal on Atomic H Records.
I am thankful to my family and to the blues family at large around the world who have welcomed me to their town, their homes for a meal, to sleep for a conversation and to play the blues. I am thankful to Renee my beautiful wife who has been by my side and my manager for twenty years.

A Return to Roots:
The 708 Club in Chicago.
|
|
On a crisp fall afternoon in Chicago the three legendary Eddy & Eddie’s traveled to the famed 708 Club (down the street from Theresa’s Lounge) to shoot the cover of Big City Rhythm and Blues Magazine featuring, Eddy, Eddie Shaw and Eddie Campbell. The club brought back such great memories for me. I was a Yellow Taxi Cab driver (18 years old) and I was driving my taxi when I heard Muddy Waters come on the radio. The announcer, Pervis Spann said, ‘and the great Muddy Waters is at the 708 Club tonight. ‘I drove down there parked my car and said to myself, ‘nothing is going to stop me from going in to see Muddy’ .... I parked my taxi, got out and walked to the door and who was standing there, but Muddy Waters in a beautiful classy white suit. I said hello, introduced myself and somehow got in (I wasn’t of age). I ordered a coke and sat there and listened all night long. This was my most inspiring night. So to have my photo taken in front of the club where it all began is quite significant for me.

Between his slashing left-handed guitar work, his room-filling vocals, his self-defined "rock-a-blues" style (a forceful mix of blues, rock, rockabilly, country and gospel), his boundless energy and even his signature Indian headdress, Clearwater is among the very finest practitioners of the West Side blues working today.
