Description: SMOKIN’ JOE KUBEK RELEASES HISTORIC BLUES CD WITH TEXAS’ FINEST MUSICIANS Iconic musicians including Doyle Bramhall, Sr. pay tribute to ‘Guitar Charley’ Wirz Almost 40 years in the making, BIRD RECORDS is finally releasing “Let That Right Hand Go” a collection of songs and tribute to Texas Guitar Guru, Charley Wirz. Joined by Texas Blues Greats Doyle Bramhall, Sr., Keith Ferguson, Guthrie Kennard, Darrell Nulisch, Mark Hickman, Marc Benno, Bruce Bolin, Benita Aterberry, Lou ‘Laser’ Bovis, Al ‘TNT’ Braggs and ‘Guitar Charley’ Wirz. Joe strips it down to deliver a smokin’ historical record of the Texas Blues sound which will be available on .E Bay and local record stores Dallas and Austin. Producer Clint Birdwell, of BIRD RECORDS TEXAS, remarks,” “Let that right hand go!” was a saying Charley Wirz used to yell at his favorite guitar players on stage - wherever that might be. Charley Wirz was a genuine ‘Guitar Guru’ and a guitar player’s best friend. Whether you wanted to buy a guitar, needed a guitar repaired or just wanted to hang out and talk guitars at his small shop on Harry Hines Boulevard in Dallas, Texas, Wirz was the man. One might run into Billy Gibbons, Jimmie or Stevie Ray Vaughan, Bugs Henderson, Gatemouth Brown or any number of Texas guitar gunslingers, because this was the place to hang!” Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top chimes in, “Along the way, Charley developed many solid relationships with a host of musicians and stridently supported the local music scene. And, that’s part of the genius that connected Smokin’ Joe Kubek and Doyle Bramhall, who came together in 1984 which started this very work. Previously neither had a record of their own, yet Charley felt it important to take them both into the studio where the duo cut two songs, Freddie King’s “Drivin’ Sideways” and Doyle Bramhall’s “Other Side of Love” also featuring Charley on rhythm guitar.” Smokin’ Joe adds, “Finally after many years, here it is friends! Lots of the Greatest Blues Players have come from the Lone Star State of Texas and these guys have influenced, inspired and shaped contemporary blues from Jim Morrison, Bobby Blue Bland, to SRV and more. This album started when I asked my dear friend Charley Wirz to help me put a 45 RPM out in 1984. It has been like a calling to get this rare recording out to the world and I am thankful for that.” AVAILABLE June 1, 2023, ON E-Bay Artwork by renowned Texas artist Jim Franklin
