An Intimate Night of Stories and Songs Bobby Rush RawAn Intimate Night of Stories and Songs (Solo)Rushborn Emmett Ellis, Jr. grew up on his familys farm picking cotton, tending to mules and chickens, and living in a home without electricity nor indoor plumbing. He built his first guitar on the side of the familys house out of broom wire, nails, bottles and bricks.The blues, Rush recalls, provided an escape from the cotton fields. Youd go out on Saturday night to the juke joints, but then on Monday morning youd go back into the cotton fields to work for your bossman.He left behind farm work to perform on the road with the Rabbit Foot Minstrels, and as Bobby Rusha name he took on out of respect to his father, a ministerhe toured the jukes and clubs of Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi before settling in Chicago in the 1950s. Through singles on labels including Chess, ABC and Philadelphia International and relentless touring Rush established an unparalleled reputation as an entertainer.Rush has become one of the most prominent advocates for the blues tradition, and says its the root of all music, its the mother of all music. If you dont like the blues, you probably dont like your mama. And he has no plans to slow down.
