Now his dream was realised.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eAfter playing in his native Texas, Texas, Joe was recruited to the Chicago band of King Kolax. He stayed 'For about three years; they played the hits of the day, they played the Blues too'. After this, he played with Ray Charles and toured with Gatemouth Moore before returning to Texas. In 1952 he moved to California, then a mecca for storming sax-led R\u0026amp;B. There he earned such aliases as Mighty Joe Houston and 'The Wildman Of The Tenor Sax'.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eLive work continued, but not recording. This CD was Joe's first in sixteen years. Joe sparked off his sidemen: 'Otis is a wonderful person, I enjoyed working with him and ...some wonderful British people and one American on drums - he's a good drummer, really helped the record 100%.'\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eOtis singled out another musician for praise: 'Ray Gelato was brilliant'.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eFor Ray Gelato, the session had a special significance; the first sax album he bought was by Joe Houston!\u003cp\u003eThe Return Of Honk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCamillas Hop\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMama Dont\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFruit Boots\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBig Legged Woman\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey Killed Crazy Horse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCastle Rock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy Oh Why\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlues For T-Bone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDown But Not Out\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55171006169473,"sku":"584077","price":14.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51vCiYaxz7L._SL1500.jpg?v=1768105758","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/584077","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
