Siegel-Schwall Band - First Album (1966)

The Siegel-Schwall Band was an American electric blues band from Chicago, Illinois. The band was formed in 1964 by Corky Siegel (harmonica & piano) and Jim Schwall (guitar). Corky & Jim met each other when both were music students at Roosevelt University. Corky was originally a saxophonist interested in blues and Jim's background was mostly in country music. They combined these two genres producing a lighter sounding blues. The Siegel-Schwall Band's first four albums were on the Vanguard label. Their first album was originally issued in 1966. This CD reissue includes two rare bonus tracks that were not on the original release.
