Steve ""Blue Shoe"" Shoemaker has been playing professionally in the US and Europe since the 1970's. Whether he's blowing harp abd singing his own compositions with the Blue Shoe Sole Revue in the US , playing trombone with King Alex and the Untouchables across Europe, or leading the horn section at various recording sessions, ""Blue Shoe"" has got the blues goin' on.
Shoemaker has performed side by side with many blues legends such as Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Luther Allison, Albert Collins, Bo Diddley, and Charlie Musselwhite. As a leader or sideman, he has appeared on more than thirty recordings (the earliest of which were 45's).
On his CD ""I Want a German Woman"", recorded in Kansas City, Shoemaker pulls out all the stops on the title track as well as on his other originals: ""Blues'd Up"", ""Set Me Off"", and ""Have Your Fun"". ""Washboard"" Chaz Leary, recording veteran of more than fifty CD's, contributes strong vocals on four songs including his own ""I Need a Gun and a Drink"". ""Blue Shoe"" combines tongue-in-cheek lyrics and full arrangements using nineteen musicians.
You can also check out ""Blue Shoe"" and friends on King Alex's CD ""Hot as a Coffee Pot"" on the Dutch label, Black Magic Records.
CD's by ""Blue Shoe"" and King Alex can be found on cdbaby.com.
