Eddie Shaw
We caught up with blues legend Eddie Shaw, in Mississippi from his current Chicago residence, after he was honored with a Mississippi Blues Trail marker in Benoit. Eddie, who led Howlin' Wolf's band, is a legendary blues saxophone player. We were lucky to catch him on one of his trips home to the Mississippi Delta, and we're honored to add him to our list of musicians for Blues @ Home.
