Blues & Rock music Ilija Capko's video: Billy Branch The Sons Of Blues - As The Years Go Passing By

From the Album: Romancing The Blue Stone, Year of Release: 1985 Lyrics: As The Years Go Passing By As a preamble, note that the albums of THE SONS OF BLUES are classified in the discography of Billy BRANCH for better consistency and greater visibility, the harmonica player being one of the main founders of the group. Moreover, whatever the concept of his tours, the orchestra that accompanies him bears the name of Sons Of Blues, which is why the site brings together the two entities on the same shelf. Formed in the mid-70s, The Sons Of Blues saw its early founders (Lurrie and Carrey Bell, Freddie Dixon) depart as quickly as they arrived. In fact Billy BRANCH has become the tutelary figure of this formation with interchangeable geometry. We are now in 1985, BRANCH had recorded only a handful of albums counting on the fingers of one hand, a rich discography to which it is advisable to add titles appearing in three compilations including those dedicated to the American Folk Blues Festival 1982. The Sons of Blues was formed by Billy Branch, a vocalist and harmonica virtuoso bluesman who is now a leading figure in Chicago blues! The Sons of Blues is now reissued from the treasured recordings left on a minor French label in 1985 when guitarist Carl Weathersby was still with the band! Musicians: Billy Branch (vo,harmonica) Carl Weathersby (g) Buster Benton (g on M9) François Reihack (p) J.W.Williams (b) Morse Lutuse (ds) Recorded 1985 True Blues Masters ~ Black and Blue CAMPAIGN . The reissue of blues works from the popular reissue series "BLACK & BLUE" is finally complete! To commemorate this event, all 46 works, including 35 previously released works and 11 newest works. If he is not a great singer, Branch is hardly illustrated in the field of writing, his favorite fields are the harmonica and the ability to manage a small orchestra. Compared to the previous album, "Romancing The Blue Stone" sees the arrival of guitarist Carlton Weathersby (a former protege of Albert KING) in place of Carlos Johnson, without forgetting the contribution of the late François Rilhac on the piano. Branch can always rely on an effective rhythm section with drummer Mose Rutues (faithful teammate for 35 years) and J.W. Williams (ex Buddy GUY, Junior WELLS, Phil Guy) a bassist also gifted in composition. Between them, Williams and Branch are the authors of five new titles. "You've Stayed Away Too Long" reveals itself as a good Chicago Blues on the border of Rockin' Blues in a style close to Little WALTER and Walter Horton. If he is not a powerful singer, Billy BRANCH puts here enough enthusiasm to drown the fish. The combo tackles "As The Years Go Passing By", accredited to Deadric Malone (aka Don ROBEY) but likely the work of Peppermint Harris. If Albert KING popularized the song via a dantesque version in the mythical album "Born Under The Bad Sign", Billy BRANCH and his companions are doing well. Bass – J.W.
