Charles 'Hog' Hayes

Charles 'Hog' Hayes - Raw Blues! - 2007 - St. George Records

Charles Hayes is a terrific guitar player, as well as a great singer. He plays some devastating electric blues songs. His guitar-playing is razor-sharp and his sound rather dark but always moody. He is backed by a terrific band, including Rick Kreher on guitar. Charles Hayes learned blues while his dad played guitar with neighbour Washboard Sam. From his first pro gig backing up Sonny Boy Williamson, Charles has been playing hard edged guitar blues from Mississippi to California to Illinois. This album was recorded cut live in the studio in Chicago.
