Indigo Blues Hour-Back to Chicago

The artists on last nites show epitomize the genre of Chicago Blues-the change that ultimately took place from Delta to Chicago blues was the use of electric guitars and amplifiers and the use of the piano to maintain the back beat-Muddy Waters has been credited with being the father of Chicago Blues.
He was quoted as saying, in regards to the transition in styles that "When I went into the clubs, the first thing that I wanted was an amplifier. Wherever you got booze, you gonna get a little fight. Couldn't nobody hear you with an acoustic. You get more of a pure thing out of an acoustic, but you get more noise out of an amplifier."
The artists played on the show were: Luther Allison, Roosevelt Sykes, Koko Taylor, James Cotton,Otis Spann, Hound Dog Taylor, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Buddy Guy, Pinetop Perkins, Charlie Musselwhite, Magic Slim and the Teardrops and Magic Sam.
