Leo “Bud” Welch Live at Red’s Lounge #SunflowerBlues2013


I went from having never heard of Leo “Bud” Welch a couple of weeks ago to suddenly hearing his name everywhere. He’s getting booked a lot more often suddenly, and he has an album in the works from Fat Possum Records/Big Legal Mess. Saturday night, the North Mississippi All Stars were on the main stage, and they’re great, but I’ve heard them many times, so I decided to check out Red’s Lounge to see who was playing, and it was none other than Leo “Bud” Welch. Red’s is a true juke joint with worlds of authentic atmosphere. The tiny open space in front of the “stage” was occupied by dancers, and Robert Belfour, another legendary Hill Country bluesman was in the audience listening.
