SEPT 16: Concerts in the UU Dome Presents:
BLIND WILLIE JAMES & DAVID LEE MAXWELL Sunday Sept 16. 3 p.m. $10.
ABOUT WILLIE: Blind Willie James is known for his inspiring versions of blues and gospel songs. James is originally from Live Oak in north Florida. He was born blind and was orphaned at an early age. Early on, he sang gospel music in church He began playing the piano while a student at the Florida School for the Blind in St. Augustine (where one of his classmates was Ray Charles). Over the years he has collaborated with a variety of musicians, including the late Diamond Tooth Mary McClain with whom he appeared several times at the Florida Folk Festival; and in the early 90s the two did an appearance at Carnegie Hall. For a short time he was also a member of The Blind Boys of Alabama.
Willie learned to sing by oral tradition. He learned to play the piano by ear. Immersed in the traditional Black Gospel music indigenous to the backwoods of North Florida, Willie's music exemplifies the blurring of lines between gospel and blues. Willie will sing a soul-stirring "Motherless Child" and then go into a suitable-for-late-night version of Hank Ballard's "The Twist," rife with all the innuendo the writer intended. In 1999 Blind Willie James received the prestigious Florida Folk Heritage Award from the Governor of the State of Florida. Altho he is getting on up in years, Willie still has much to offer. He is an entertainer extraordinaire. It's important that he not be allowed to rest too much on his laurels. Now with David Lee Maxwell as his sidekick, we can all look forward to losing our blues and joining Willie & David in Willie's signature dance: THE BLIND WILLIE.
