Description
Black and blue 33. 508. Excellent condition? Maybe near mint. The aces was one of the earliest and most influential of the electric Chicago Blues Bands in the 1950's, led by the guitarist brothers Louis and Dave Myers, natives of Byhalia, Mississippi. The brothers originally performed as the little boys. With the addition of the harmonica player Junior Wells, they rechristened themselves The Three Deuces and then The Three Aces. With the enlistment of the drummer Fred Below in 1950, they became the Four Aces and finally The Aces. In the late 1950's, Dave Myers switched from the guitar to the electric bass, becoming one of the first Chicago Bluesmen to adopt this relatively new instrument and helping to popularize it in Chicago Blues. During the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's the original Aces periodically reunited for recordings, tours, and festival gigs.
