The 1996 Chicago Blues Festival

Texas border-town legend Long John Hunter followed, with a hot band and bunch of songs from his new album. Hunter's tough guitar playing and distinctive voice powered Oh Red and his remake of Little Milton's Grits Ain't Groceries. Hunter's skills as a showman, developed during his stint in Juarez, Mexico, remain intact. He danced about the stage quite deftly and, in the middle of one slow blues, walked off stage right and laid his guitar in a woman's lap while continuing to play it. Joining Hunter halfway through the set was former Texan by way of California, Phillip Walker, for their
first performance together in 38 years. Walker started out with Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, but things really got hot during Crazy Girl with the two guitarists trying to outdo each other. Hunter played a solo with one hand; Walker played one with his teeth. Then they started trading phrases, each trying to be wilder than the other.
