Sugar Blue, a speedy, demonstrative harmonica player, is best known in France,
where he begged in the Paris metro and played all over the scene for much of the
'70s. He could have contented himself with a comfortable place on the French
scene, but preferred to return to the States to hone his style with Willie Dixon
or Eddy Clearwater.
Although the few records he recorded under his own name weren't always very
interesting, Sugar Blue nonetheless made a major contribution to the success of
Johnny Shines' Two Wet To Plow and Brownie McGhee's Blues Is Truth.
