Christian music news: Lil' Ed And The Blues Imperials

Latest christian music: Lil’ Ed Williams and his long-standing band The Blues Imperials crank their native Chicago blues just a notch over the top, making it as party-ready as any good up-tempo soul act. In addition to those giddy slide-guitar leads, Lil’ Ed tends to look a bit more flamboyant than your average bluesman, especially when decked out in red Chuck Taylors and one of his flashy fez hats. The titles of his Alligator Records releases stretching back to the ’80s tend to reflect this ecstatic quality—Roughhousin’, Get Wild, and last year’s Full Tilt—and with this band, revving up the blues is just another route to the genre’s richness.
