Pete Karnes is a blues harp player, comitted to the Chicago Blues, member of the Blues Hall of Fame and long years in the business. Born in Pigget (Arkansas ), grew up in Ann Arbor (Michigan). As a teenager he moved to Detroit.
Pete’s family was Blues affine. He started his professional career as a musician in the 60s. Lightning Slim, Carey Bell, and Big Walter Horten promoted him. He played with B.B. King, Big Walter Horton, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Robert Lockwood, JB Hutto, Lightning Slim and Charlie Musselwhite and many other Blues greats . Mid-eighties, he ended his music career to devote himself to the family. The late nineties he became seriously ill, but since 2006 has been active again.
Now he has recorded a new album. It is one of the albums you like to listen, to listen a second time and suddenly you realize that it is often on the turntable. This is possible if a musician plays in the certainty that he really can and no one has to prove anything more. Pete Karnes does not require twenty Harps to play. I suppose, that he has the pieces mostly played with one instrument. There is no demonstration of electronic overkill - a musician, his harp, a microphone and his voice must meet - and they do fully . Pete’s warm, resonant voice fits perfectly to the songs.
