Banda Británica de blues liderada por Graham Vickery. Muy en la línea de otros grandes del boom británico ingles de finales de decada como la John Dummer Blues Band, la Outlaw Blues Band o Chicken Shack.
"Little Woman, You're So Sweet" - recorded live Nov. 23 '68 at "Mothers Blues Club", Birmingham, the U.K.

Graham Vickery a.k.a. Shakey Vick on harmonica and vocals is a true veteran of the U.K. r&b circuit. (And outside that circuit too: he contributed harmonica to Elton John's first album, "Empty Sky", in '69!)
Once upon a time he led an outfit called the Down Home Blues Band a.k.a. Shakey Vick's Big City Blues Band. This band at one time featured the vocalist Chris Youlden who then left for Savoy Brown and reener pastures (and green back dollars).


In Bob Brunning's excellent book "Blues - The British Connection" Chris Youlden says of the period he was involved with the Shakey Vick band:
"We did a couple of gigs for Giorgio Gomelsky, which we got because we entered an r'n'b competition at the Marquee. We didn't get anywhere, but he liked us, and gave us a couple of gigs. Nothing much came of it afterwards, but that was our main claim to fame!"

Giorgio Gomelsky, in case the name eludes you, was the man who wanted to manage The Rolling Stones, lost them, and then became the first manager of The Yardbirds - way back then.

Shakey Vick's Big City Blues Band was a bit of a 'purist' blues band, considering the competition. Formed in the summer of '66 and played its last gig with the following lineup on April 7 '68.
