Notes from "Zubbid";

# It appears on BWRs �Live at The Blind Pig� LP under this title; it's same song as Louis Jordan�s �Brotherly Love (Wrong Ideas)�.

I'm not 100% on my identifications of 01 and 03 but, at the very least, there are pieces on the 'Blind Pig' LP which bear substantial similarities to the instrumentals as they appear here.


Bio;
BOOGIE WOOGIE RED was an American Detroit blues, boogie-woogie and jazz pianist, singer and songwriter. He variously worked with Sonny Boy Williamson I, Washboard Willie, Baby Boy Warren, Lonnie Johnson, Tampa Red, John Lee Hooker and Memphis Slim.

He was born Vernon Harrison in Rayville, Louisiana, moving to Detroit in 1927. In his adolescence, he began performing in local clubs and went on to work alongside Sonny Boy Williamson I, Baby Boy Warren and John Lee Hooker.
In the mid 1970s, Boogie Woogie Red used to play solo piano at the Blind Pig, a small bar in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He recorded his own albums in 1974 and 1977, and toured Europe that same decade. Red appeared on BBC Television's Old Grey Whistle Test in May 1973.

He died in Detroit, in July 1992, at the age of 66.
