RJ Spangler's Blues Four featuring Bill Heid, Keith Kaminski, Pat Prouty wsg Johnnie Bassett

RJ Spangler is Detroit to the bone. Not only is our foremost revivalist of authentic classic R&B talent, he's also a hell of a drummer. Every move that he makes is informed by his love & passion for the music of this city. This collaboration with Bill Heid is a wonderful addition to both of their extensive catalogs.

I first started playing little gigs around Detroit with Bill Heid way back in 1985. We had a regular Sunday gig at the Tap Room on the eastside with James O'Donnell and Kurt Krahnke. We were mixing up swing, bop & blues, much like we do to this day, because that is what we like to do. Back then Bill was turning me onto lots of cool records which over the years have influenced me greatly. 

At this point it might be germane to mention that Bill Heid is quite a musician & singer. Born & raised in Pittsburgh, PA, he grew up digging serious jazz, blues & doo wop. He lived in Chicago for a number of years, recording with Koko Taylor (twice), Fenton Robinson (twice) and Roy Buchanan, all on the Alligator label. He has recorded for many labels since including impulce!, Black Magic, Cannonball, Wetside, Savant and many more. He is now a journeyman having backed the likes of David "Fathead" Newman, Jimmy Witherspoon, Big Jay McNeely. Bill lived in Detroit for over two decades where he created a large following of serious musicians. I count myself to be one of them.
