Shakey Jake Harris • The Key Won't Fit



Born James D. Harris, 12 April 1921, Earle, Arkansas, USA, d. 2 March 1990, Pine Bluff, Arkansas, USA. A professional gambler when not playing harmonica (his nickname was derived from the crapshooters' call "Shake 'em, Jake", Harris began playing in Chicago blues bands during the late 40s. His 1958 single "Call Me If You Need Me"/"Roll Your Moneymaker", recorded for the Artistic subsidiary of Cobra Records, featured guitar work by his nephew Magic Sam. During the 60s he recorded two albums that did not do him justice, as club recordings with Sam make evident. His encouragement of younger musicians brought about the recording debut of, among others, Luther Allison, with whom Jake recorded his best album after moving to Los Angeles. In later years, occasional recordings appeared, including some on his own label, and Harris ran a blues club for a while, but was dogged by poor health and isolated by neighborhood gang violence.
Excellent album on the small Murray Brothers label from 1983. Backing from Rod Piazza, Jr. Watson and Hollywood Fats among others.

Nacido James D. Harris, 12 de abril de 1921, Earle, Arkansas, EE. UU., D. 2 de marzo de 1990, Pine Bluff, Arkansas, EE. UU. Un jugador profesional cuando no tocaba la armónica (su apodo se derivó de la llamada "Shake 'em, Jake" de los crapshooters, Harris comenzó a tocar en las bandas de blues de Chicago a finales de los años 40. Su single de 1958 "Call Me If You Need Me" / " Roll Your Moneymaker ", grabado para la filial Artística de Cobra Records, contó con el trabajo de guitarra de su sobrino Magic Sam. Durante los años 60 grabó dos álbumes que no le hacían justicia, como lo demuestran las grabaciones del club con Sam. Su aliento a los músicos más jóvenes provocó el debut en la grabación de, entre otros, Luther Allison, con quien Jake grabó su mejor álbum después de mudarse a Los Ángeles. En años posteriores aparecieron grabaciones ocasionales, incluidas algunas de su propio sello, y Harris dirigió un club de blues por un tiempo , pero fue perseguido por la mala salud y aislado por la violencia de pandillas del barrio.
Excelente álbum en el pequeño sello Murray Brothers de 1983. Con el respaldo de Rod Piazza, Jr. Watson y Hollywood Fats entre otros.
