"Then something amazing hit like a ton of bricks. I thought that Slim Harpo
and Luther Allison came back to life to blow the doors off the building. I saw The Chester Dennis Jones Band at the Mt. Baker Blues Festival last summer and thought that they were a national act flown in from Chicago. I was wrong: they are a Tacoma area band. The first thing they did this night was the instrumental song, “San Jose.” I know great guitar playing when I hear it and I heard it. They later did “Bad Luck” and the singing was good too. Chester also sang “Born in Chicago” and it sounded as good as I’ve heard it done by anyone. The slide guitar work of this
guy is something everyone
should go check out. It is
powerful, flawless, and
shows why we love this
kind of music. In addition
to Chester on guitar and
vocals, Steve Hopkins
played the drums, and Don
Harvey was on bass. The
rhythm section is solid."
