	Lowell Fulson: 1921-1999
		Lowell Fulson was not only a major name in his own right in the development of post-war blues, but also served as either a sometime employer of or a leading influence on a number of famous artists.
		Fulson's West Coast success did not escape the attention of rhythm and blues specialists back east, and in 1954 he was signed to the Checker label, a subsidiary of the famous Chess Records in Chicago.
		As with many of his peers, Fulson's laconic style began to be regarded as unfashionable with the advent of rock and roll, and his career began to slow down, although he was one of the major influences on the blues revival in Britain in the mid-60s.

	Fulson
		Fulson and the Morris Cavalcade are joined by the Five Keys for a two week tour of theaters in the Northeast, and the powerful R and B show is a good draw in all locations.
		Lowell Fulson begins the year with a number of personal appearances in the Chicago area including an extended stay at Cadillac Bob's and a March stint at the Crown Propeller Lounge.
		At year's end Lowell Fulson is riding the surprising success of his first record for Checker and is signed to a big touring revue called the Top Ten R and B Show that also features The Clovers, Charms, Moonglows, Joe Turner, Faye Adams, Bill Doggett, and the Paul Williams band.

		Fulson toured extensively from then on, his band stocked for a time with dazzling pianist Ray Charles (who later covered Lowell's "Sinner's Prayer" for Atlantic) and saxist Stanley Turrentine.
		Fulson was never been absent for long on disc; 1992's Hold On and its 1995 follow-up Them Update Blues, both for Ron Levy's Bullseye Blues logo, were among his later efforts, both quite solid.
		Fulson continued to perform until 1997, when health problems forced the career bluesman into a reluctant retirement.

	LivinBlues- Lowell Fulson
		Fulson's career-- which stretched from 1939 until a couple years prior to his death in 1999--reveals the relative ease with which he adapted to evolving trends.
		By 1958, Lowell Fulson was considered the equal of BB King---vocally, instrumentally, and compositionally.
		Lowell's version of Memphis Slim's 'Every Day I Have The Blues' was emblematic of that era's electric Blues, and BB King relied on Fulson's version to inspire his signature tune.

	Lowell Fulson — Think Twice Before You Speak
		Fulson is one of the legends who didn’t take his abilities for granted and rest on his laurels.
		Fulson has a deep, rich voice that works well with his style of guitar playing—a style that can best be summed up as Texas country blues.
		This recording was made in 1984 and it is clear that Fulson is still at the height of his ability even if he sounds like he’s slowing down.

		One of the true greats of the blues, Lowell Fulson, is in his late days and spending a lot of time reminiscing.

		Lowell said that if anybody made him an offer he'd sell them all, since, he said rather bitterly, they weren't doing him any good.

		"This short note is to let you all know that 7/12/98 Lowell Fulson was moved from the nursing home where he has been staying in recent months, into a private Los Angeles-area home with a couple whom he has known for many years.
		Both the husband and wife are diabetics, so both are well-versed in preparing food that's healthy and safe for him to eat, and both are experienced in administering insulin.
		This situation, if it works out, will be the best possible solution to the problem of living arrangements for Lowell, since none of his children seems to be able to accommodate him in their homes.

		For blues aficionado, a bonus to this offering is a 17-minute interview with Fulson in which he discusses his career, his music, his songwriting and his contemporaries, and helps put things into a historical context.

		This installment of Fuel 2000's Blue on Blues series pairs the founding father of Texas blues with one of the genre's greatest experimenters.
		Six songs are hardly enough to give an idea of each musician's breadth, especially Fulson's, but as with other installments of Blue on Blues, this is a decent introduction for the uninitiated, at a very attractive price.
		A basic two-for-one split CD featuring two Texas blues masters, Blue on Blues is fine for newcomers to one or both of the singer/guitarists, as well as for casual fans.
