Greetings Friends, Family, Associates, Acquaintances, Comrades & Accomplices,
#76 in The Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumentals Series, This Is Our Last Chance, features a cat known more for his deeply funky rhythm playing than his soloing, but looky here, D.J. Williams sure can solo too! Born in New Jersey, raised in Liberia, and settling in Richmond VA, D.J. began his musical journey on classical piano and then heard the light of Curtis Mayfield from his Mom's record collection, which set the course that he's still following today. D.J. has been a member of Karl Denson's Tiny Universe since 2011 and is also the leader of the all-star collective, Shots Fired. We were lucky enough to catch up with D.J. while he was touring through Santa Cruz. Remember touring???
The backing band on this track is Rich Kirch (John Lee Hooker 1984-2001) on rhythm guitar, Marcus David (Nick Gravenites) on drums, and myself on bass. The track was recorded at Skunkworks in Capitola CA. Mixed by the Grammy winning Godfather of Grunge, Jack Endino (Nirvana, Nando Reis) and as always, masterfully mastered by Alex McCollough at True East Mastering.
