for a nice band review from the Minnesota Blues Web Site, by Tim Holek, 4/1/2001
First up was the bugs Beddow Band and their trombone-driven party blues.
Bandleader Beddow is part of a dying breed of blues trombonists. However,
this hasn’t impacted his career. In fact his band was voted Best R&B Band at
the year 2000 Detroit Music Awards. Their far too short set included songs sung
by different band members. Duffy King’s killer vocal chops were backed by his
rockin’ guitar. The dynamic and energetic guitarist thrilled the crowd with his
onstage antics. He played blistering leads with the guitar held behind his head
and jammed wildly on top of the amps. However, it came across as if he was
trying to upstage headliner Lonnie Brooks. "Woman Crazy Man" featured
powerful solos from all including an outstanding sax solo from James Morse.
Bandleader bugs delivered the best vocals of the band. On "She Caught The
Katy", he hit as many notes with his voice as he did with his Holton TR158
trombone. It was a raucous version that had us stompin’ our feet to the beat.
The band was white hot with their excellent vocal blend, high energy
danceable rhythms and driving horns.
