Lee Fields & The Expressions
Waterfront Blues Festival
Portland, OR.
July 6, 2014
Another year of WBF recordings. Recorded from KBOO FM in Portland, OR. A great lineup again this year. I was looking forward to Greg Allman's set, but he had to pull out due to sickness. Oh well, I wouldn't have been able to share him here anyway. Seems to be much more DJ talking this year, interrupting some music. I just left it in rather than trying to edit each show. Feel free to make any changes you wish for personal use.
I may need help with some of the set list's as I don't know all the bands.
Enjoy, twofthrs

There aren�t too many artists making soul music today who had a release in 1969, back when R&B was first beginning to give the drummer some. Lee Fields, however, is one such artist�or maybe he�s better labeled a phenomenon. Since the late sixties, the North Carolina native has amassed a prolific catalog of albums and has toured and played with such legends as Kool and the Gang, Sammy Gordon and the Hip-Huggers, O.V Wright, Darrell Banks, and Little Royal.
With a career spanning 43 years, releases on twelve different record labels, and having toured the world over with his raucous-yet-tender voice, it�s mind-blowing that the music he�s making today with Brooklyn�s own Truth & Soul Records is the best of his career. Lee Fields continues to evolve, enmeshed into the group�s sweeping, string-laden, cinematic soul sound. Their latest full-length "Faithful Man" released in March 2012 on Truth & Soul, was called �one smoking mother of an old-sound soul record� by Pitchfork and Vice magazine.
Since the release of Faithful Man, Lee Fields & The Expressions have been touring the world and racking up accolades from critics and fans alike. Lee Fields was featured on "Last Call With Carson Daly" and has toured the world over, gaining new fans and satisfying old ones racking up sold out shows in New York, San Francisco, Los Angles, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Montreal, Austin, Houston, New Orleans and many more.
