Big Daddy Kinsey • Ramblin' Man

 



Biography by Jim O'Neal
Long before Lester "Big Daddy" Kinsey and his clan hit the international blues circuit, he established himself as the modern-day blues patriarch of Gary, Indiana and as the Steel City's answer to Muddy Waters. A slide guitarist and harp blower with roots in both the Mississippi Delta and postwar Chicago styles, Kinsey worked with local bands only long enough for his sons to mature into top-flight musicians, and after 1984 (when Big Daddy recorded his debut album, Bad Situation) the family act became one of the hottest attractions in contemporary blues. Big Daddy's material ranged from deep blues in the Muddy Waters vein to hard-rocking blues with touches of funk and even reggae, courtesy of sons Donald and Ralph (who venture even further afield in their own outings as the Kinsey Report). In the early '90s Kinsey released one of the most successful albums of his career, I Am the Blues, which featured contributions from Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Sugar Blue, and Pinetop Perkins. On April 3, 2001 he succumbed to prostate cancer, dying at the age of 74.

Biografía de Jim O'Neal
Mucho antes de que Lester "Big Daddy" Kinsey y su clan llegaran al circuito internacional de blues, se estableció como el patriarca moderno del blues de Gary, Indiana, y como la respuesta de la Ciudad del Acero a Muddy Waters. Kinsey, guitarrista de slide y arpa con raíces tanto en el Delta del Mississippi como en el Chicago de la posguerra, trabajó con bandas locales sólo el tiempo suficiente para que sus hijos maduraran y se convirtieran en músicos de primera categoría, y después de 1984 (cuando Big Daddy grabó su álbum de debut, Bad Situation) el acto familiar se convirtió en una de las atracciones más calientes del blues contemporáneo. El material de Big Daddy abarcaba desde el blues profundo en la vena de Muddy Waters hasta el blues rockero con toques de funk e incluso reggae, cortesía de los hijos Donald y Ralph (que se aventuran incluso más allá en sus propias salidas como Kinsey Report). A principios de los 90, Kinsey publicó uno de los álbumes más exitosos de su carrera, I Am the Blues, en el que colaboraron Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Sugar Blue y Pinetop Perkins. El 3 de abril de 2001 sucumbió a un cáncer de próstata y murió a los 74 años.
