  Bo Dudley - Shotgun Rider
Here's a cool mid-60s Chicago blues 45 that features some wailing lap steel by Freddie Roulette. It's weird for a blues record to feature the steel guitar, but his frenzied playing fits right in on this great record.

Roulette recorded with Earl Hooker in the 60s and also released an album called Sweet and Funky Steel on the Janus label in '72.

Bo Dudley was a stage name for Oscar Coleman, who also recorded some 45s under the name Bo Dud on his own Dud Sound label.

Both Roulette and Coleman are still involved with music. I know folks were raving about a show they played together at one of the Ponderosa Stomp events down in New Orleans awhile back.

You can pick up Shotgun Rider and the flipside Coast To Coast on this CD.

Audio files are posted here as a way to promote and generate interest in some great offbeat music that I have run across. I think a lot of folks will try to go track down vinyl or CD releases of the stuff they like. If you are an artist or label and for whatever reason you want me to remove an audio file, just send an email to dirtygroovesblog AT yahoo DOT com and I'll take care of it right away.
