For most musicians it would be enough to say you worked, toured and recorded with Jimmy Rogers, served residencies at Pepper's and Ma Bea's on Chicago's south and west sides and that Howlin' Wolf sat in on your gigs - but Bill Lupkin doesn't let that alone define him. He's a well-seasoned singer, songwriter and master harpist and as fine and physical a player as you can find today. Lupkin lays it all down every outing with bedrock old-school blues and freshly-penned numbers that showcase chops, swing, muscle and loving for the blues. Lupkin’s disc - Hard Pill to Swallow - is the proper prescription for all blues fans suffering from blues scene lethargy, and is an all-original, 14-track, no-filler harmonica blues, derived directly from the source. Simmered and steeped for more than forty years, it’s good for all that ails you and is guaranteed to make you feel all right, all night. Filling in the gaps are Nick Moss – guitar, Tim wire – keys, Steve Lupkin – bass, Gerry Hundt – guitar and mandolin, and Mark Fornek – drums. “In the Chicago blues harp club, Bill Lupkin has the chops, the tone, the attitude and the dues paid in full for ‘Real Deal’ status. Enjoy this all-original program and stellar ensemble work, and be glad the music’s past is still its present and future, and in good hands!” – Dick Shurman “This guy is one savvy harp player, and you better know that he’s got the chops that only experience and faith can give you.” - BluesSource.com
