He may not be well-known, but Texas bluesman Little Joe Washington is certainly well-traveled. Raised in Houston's roughneck Third Ward, where the legendary Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins held court, Washington began playing music as a child, eventually earning a place on the drum stool behind Albert Collins. He later toured with Roscoe Gordon as his guitarist, recorded in L.A. with the Champs and as a solo artist, and performed with his band on the dangerous El Paso/Juarez Mexico circuit. Essentially homeless throughout much of the 1980s and '90s, the new millennium has led to a rebirth for the singer and guitarist, and Texas Fire Line is his second album since 2003 for the Texas-based Dialtone Records label. Washington mixes the spicy R&B of his youth with a hard-lived, downtrodden blues sound that is as real as a rock upside the head. Texas Fire Line features a band that includes Fabulous Thunderbirds Johnny (guitar) and Jason (drums) Moeller, but the album is an unvarnished showcase for the overlooked talents of Little Joe Washington. ---- blues.about.com
