Bluesy Americana album of songs written and performed by Nashville and Muscle Shoals musicians whose playing and writing credits include Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, Delbert McClinton, Taj Majal to name only a few.
Big Shoes is a Nashville Tennessee based “blues and rhythm” band that incorporates traditional blues influences like B.B King and Ray Charles along with tastes of The Allman Brothers' Band, Bonnie Raitt and the Neville Brothers into their original and cover song format. Big Shoes was originally formed to recreate the blues/rock music of the 1970's band Little Feat. As the band's following grew it became clear that it was important to carve out a unique identity. That has been a fun and impressive journey that culminated in the release of their first album, "Shoes Blues" and most recently the critically acclaimed "Step On It!" album.
Big Shoes members have played and recorded with Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, Delbert McClinton, Taj Mahal, Etta James, Bobby Blue Bland and many other blues oriented pop artists. Keyboardist, Mark T. Jordan, was a band member on the Van Morrison classic album "Tupelo Honey", Bonnie Raitt's "Road Tested" live CD and scores of other albums that can only be classified as "music history.' Guitarist Will McFarlane has contributed to albums by Levon Helm, Joss Stone, Bonnie Raitt and Bobby "Blue" Bland. Will resides in Muscle Shoals, AL and is in constant demand with the Muscle Shoals rhythm section, aka, "The Swampers." blues music blues rock music and bands
