About Carl Weathersby:
Carl Weathersby was born in 1953, in Jackson, Mississippi and moved to East Chicago, Indiana with his family when he was eight. When he started playing guitar as a teen he said his father always had musician friends stopping by the house. One that used to come by often was this big guy that Carl only knew as Albert, the mechanic. Albert happened to be watching the young Weathersby practicing some Albert King songs on guitar one day. Carl said he had been practicing this one song called 'Cross Cut Saw,' playing it over and over until he said, 'I think I got it. So I started playing it and this guy said, 'man, that ain't the way that song goes, that ain't the way I played it.' It turned out to be Albert King who proceeded to show an amazed Weathersby just how it was supposed to be played. King offered some welcome encouragement to Carl and took a liking to the young lad.
After his tour of duty in Viet Nam, Carl found employment as a steel mill worker, as a prison guard and even a police officer. Weathersby was Albert King's rhythm guitarist between 1979 and 1982, and then spent some 15 years with Billy Branch's Sons of Blues as lead guitarist before striking out on his own. His debut solo album on Evidence Records, 'Don't Lay Your Blues On Me', was nominated for the (expired link). Handy 'Blues Album of the Year' award. His latest release 'Hold On' is available online at (expired link).
Mixing Southern charm, soulful vocals, and fierce guitar-playing, Carl plays the blues, from down-and-dirty to scintillating Albert King influenced chops. This is one powerful blues performer that will leave you amazed and thoroughly entertained.

New Release by Chicago Blues Hall of Famer Carl Weathersby!!! "Travelin Man"!!!! The reviews just keep coming about this epic project after 10 years...Heres what the industry has to say:

Carl Weathersby is a senior blues master who has been around too long to be as unnoticed as he is. Without slavish imitation, this track bears in full the fruits of Weathersby's apprenticeship with the great Albert King, whom the young Carl understudied years ago, absorbing the King's impeccable use of timing, and his command of the microtonal magic that only an authentic bluesman can summon up to bare his inner feelings. His vocals, too, demonstrate the years spent with the blues. They are strong and honest, as are the phrases that resound from those six strings that have been the core of this bluesman's life and work. The fear is that years from now people will wonder why he wasn't given more attention, why more blues fans didn't give him his due. Perhaps it is because the man himself is kind, unassuming, and modest. No crazy rumors, scandals, or vicious attitudes bring him to the surface, just the music--only the music. It is time the blues world took notice.

It's always good to have something new from Carl. He's always been one of my favorites.
I'm glad he is feeling better and getting out and about again.
These days I am a blues host on WNIJ-FM in DeKalb, IL.
I started at WNIJ-FM in January, 2018. Prior, I hosted Sunday Morning Blues on WKGL-FM in Rockford.
After a 6 year run, the show ended last November,2017 when corporate cut all blues programming.
I have been broadcasting the blues in the Rockford area since 1987.
I first met Carl many years ago when he came to Rockford as part of the Sons of Blues with Billy Branch.
I got see him back then at one of the first Blues of Fox festivals in Aurora, just him and his guitar, a small PA on the street.
It was almost a Maxwell Street moment. It was very cool.
Looking forward to hearing the whole new CD down the road.
Please keep me on the list for further new and adventures,
