Balancing the Dark with the Light
Jeff Dale Releases Third Album “Good Music”
(LOS ANGELES) – Steeped in his Chicago roots, “Good Music,” has it all: upbeat, lively
celebration, messages for social justice, and bitter heartbreak served up the way only the blues
can. Jeff Dale’s third CD release in five years expands his unique sound that is built on the
foundation of having learned and played with the blues masters.
From the opening ‘Town Line Road,’ to the deeply emotional ‘Final Destination,’ Dale has put
together this offering from the depths of his soul. Balancing the dark with the light, Dale’s playful
sense of humor shines bright on such tracks as ‘Naked Woman in My Bed,’ and ‘My Brain Took
the Whole Night Off.’
Assembling some of the finest blues musicians the city of Chicago has to offer, along with his
Los Angeles-based musicians, Dale creates an album that entertains, and moves the listener’s
heart and soul. “Good Music’ features many veteran players from the bands of Buddy Guy, James
Cotton, Magic Slim and Otis Rush.
Jeff Dale is an award winning songwriter and performer, born and raised on the south side of
Chicago. Before he could shave, Jeff was exposed to the music and live performances of Hound
Dog Taylor, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Koko Taylor and many more practitioners of Chicago
blues. “In the neighborhood I grew up in,” says Dale, “if you had your antennas up, you could
feel the blues right there.”
After learning to play the blues from two Chicago west side musicians when he was 13, and
writing his first blues based song at 14, Jeff became an accompanist for legendary blues
performers like Lowell Fulson, Pee Wee Crayton and Etta James among others. His band released
two albums of his original material in the ‘80s, and after an absence from the scene, Jeff came
roaring back into the public eye in 2009 with a new band, The South Woodlawners on his album
“Blues From The Southside Of My Soul.” Jeff also befriended the late David “Honeyboy”
Edwards, the last of the original Delta bluesmen, accompanying him at the Grammy Museum in
Los Angeles and elsewhere.
In 2011 Jeff and the South Woodlawners released the “Blues Room” CD, garnering international
acclaim and radio airplay. A notable track, “Stumblin’,” was featured on the hit FX show
“Justified.” American Blues News awarded Jeff its “Concert of The Year” accolade, saying “Jeff
is one of the coolest cats in the blues today and his live gigs really reflect his style and
personality.”
