Floyd Lee & His Mean Blues Band
Fronted by Mississippi bluesman Floyd Lee and guitarist/songwriter/producer Joel Poluck, the band was formed in 2001 in New York City beginning in the local train stations, combining a deep Mississippi blues style with multiple other traditional and modern elements. After the success of their first Amogla Records release, “Mean Blues” they began to travel far and wide, bringing along their veteran bass player Brad Vickers (Pinetop Perkins/Jimmy Rogers/Hubert Sumlin), playing in Mississippi juke joints and many blues festivals around the world. Over their twelve year career as a band they recorded several blues chart topping albums and included such members as legendary Mississippi blues drummer Sam Carr (Sonny Boy Williamson/Buddy Guy/Eric Clapton). Their songs have been covered by many artists, including Southern California blues rocker Walter Trout (John Mayall/ Canned Heat). They composed and performed the title song in the first of the "Playing For Change" series (2002). The award winning documentary, “Full Moon Lightnin’”, by John C. Gardiner spotlighted the band at the height of their career and was included on the Mississippi Blues Trail historical marker in Merigold Mississippi. Due to health related issues, Floyd Lee could no longer record or perform shows after 2013, up until his passing in 2020 at the age of eighty six.

I'm 68 but this 70s compilation has made me feel like a 20 year old again! I can't help but bop around to the beat! So many of these songs take me back to particular places and the people I was with at that time. Better than any blood pressure pills or statins!
I'm 61 years old now, and I feel nostalgic for the best times of my life, the best times I spent with Western music.
This is really really good!
Oh my, I have been listening to the blues all my long, long, life. This is the real deal, superb, made me cry with joy. Thank you for posting.
i FeeL ya Bro 😎
Blues doesn't discriminate, it brings people together. A wonderful combination of music
That's it, I feel it so, my friend! ❤
Именно людей и мутантов. Нелюдь- а её не менее 80%- против нас.😎
Yes they do this is an amazing album.😮😢😅❤
😏 Blues - only music! For what ideology, in there my friend.🤷🏼♂️
AMEN
God bless yall for keeping this music alive! From Texas with love!

“The Blues ain’t nothin’ but a good man feelin’ bad.” -Joe Seneca as Willie Brown in the movie “Crossroads”
Or as Blue Cheer sang it in the late 60's: "The blues ain't nothing, but a good man, good man-good man, feelin' down..."
That harp is ❤️🔥 “whew” 🏆

As soon as I saw this video shortly after it was uploaded to youtube, I sent an email to Amogla records asking where I could buy a copy of the recording. Crickets...
There are more landlords than teachers in my country. I joined the losing side. Oh well. I have a house with a spare room. It has been said that my place is worse than a crack den. That was before the central heating died.
I like many different styles of music but if I had to pick one it would be the blues. I've seen BB King Buddy Guy Robert Cray Stevie Ray Vaughan Kim Wilson and the fabulous Thunderbirds until I got the blues. I love that harping ❤
Que arrecho que buena música sumamente arrechisima Venezuela los ama 💯🌎🇻🇪☮️
