Continuing our belief in great roots music, we're really thrilled that Dick Wardell has released his latest CD. It's called 'Screaming and Dreaming', and it's a masterful collection of
acoustic blues.
Discography
Dick Wardell
Kid (aka Dick) Wardell has been around on the British Blues scene for almost 50 years Ð
hence the sobriquet Papa. He began with skiffle until he met up with Long John Baldry and Clive Palmer along
with many others and went on to busking and playing the folk scene in the Folk/ Blues revival of the 60s. HeÕs played
and appeared alongside many people Ðsome known and some not so known. These have included the late Jo-Ann Kelly, Roger Hubbard,
Wizz Jones, LightninÕ Slim, Roy Book Binder, Michael Roach, Catfish Keith and Kent DuChaine.
For much of his life, Kid was a lone Troubadour Ð one man and his guitar - with periods when heÕs teamed up with others Ð
Leo Sayer (before pop), Harmonica & Kazoo in the late 60s; Ian Winfield, piano in the early 70s, Ed Lamont, guitar, in the late 80s,
the Moonshine Boys (fiddle & piano in the late 90s and Richie Robertson (double bass) in the early years of the millennium. Today he
can be heard on occasions also with celebrated piano player, Bob Hall.
