The Legendary Sam Lay Blues Band June 11, 2011

"The Legendary Sam Lay Blues Band"
Sam Lay, Bob Riedy, Bob Corritore, Mark Wydra, Harry Garner and Harlan Terson.

Sam Lay began recording and performing with the founding fathers of blues, Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. The recordings Lay made during this time, along with Waters' Fathers and Sons album recorded in the 1970s, are considered to be among the definitive works from the careers of Waters and Wolf.
In the mid 1960s Lay was persuaded to join with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and recorded and toured extensively with this important blues group. Bob Dylan, with Lay as his drummer, was the first performer to introduce electric-rock at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Lay also recorded with Dylan, most notably on the Highway 61 Revisited album.
