  • Fall/Winter 2012 Electro-Fi Newsletter
    Electro-Fi Records <noreply@electrofi.com> 2 December, 2012 2:06 PM To: Gary Collver Fall/Winter 2012 Electro-Fi Newsletter Fall/Winter 2012: While it certainly still can be a Mean Old World at times, 2012 has turned out to be an excellent year here at Electro-Fi Records, so first and foremost we want to thank you, our fellow Blues aficionados for sharing our deep love of the Blues. We couldn't begin to do what we do without all of your interest and kind support. Back in June we had 5 of our releases listed on the U.S. Roots Music Top Fifty Radio Chart, and in May we had the distinct pleasure of attending Electro-Fi artist and Chicago Blues Legend BILLY BOY ARNOLD'S induction into the Blues Hall of Fame in Memphis, during the Blues Foundation's Blues Music Awards week. Speaking of Billy Boy Arnold, he has asked us to thank you for helping to make his "Billy Boy Arnold Sings Big Bill Broonzy" release one of 2012's Traditional Blues highlights. This CD was a project close to all our hearts, and it's sure nice to see an artist from Chicago's Golden Age of the Blues step up and put out such a strong and vital album in 2012. A tip of the hat to producer ERIC NODEN, BLAISE BARTON @ Joy Ride Studio in Chicago and our pal BOB RIESMAN for his insightful liner notes, If you haven't picked up Bob's definitive Big Bill Broonzy Biography "I Feel So Good" yet, you are missing a great read.
