history
After Bob Dylan brought the 59-year-old Riley as a guest on stage during a concert in Little Rock in 1992 and presented the audience as one of his role models, whose song "Repossession Blues" he had in the concert program at the end of the 1970s, the Former rockabilly star Riley returned to the blues and country blues that shaped his musical childhood. Following the album “Blue Collar Blues” (1992), Riley recorded “hot damn!” In 1997, a very relaxed blues and country blues album that so artfully combines casual blues with elegant jazz and cozy country sounds that the 1997 album was nominated for a Grammy.
“Hot damn!” Convinces with the varied interplay of James Lott's lead guitar , Pete Sully's drums , Riley's expressive vocals and his atmospheric harmonica playing , for which he has been famous since his session musician contribution to Dean Martin's hit “Houston” (1965) .
On the cover and in the booklet of “hot damn!”, Riley presents himself as an endorser with a Gibson Blueshawk in order to stir up interest in the new electric guitar model presented recently . But it turned out the other way around, with the advertised instrument drawing attention to Riley and his music. Because of the photographs, Riley's album "hot damn!" Was noticed by the Blueshawk community and he himself was discovered as an interesting blues musician. In this detour, his fame, which had been limited to the rockabilly scene until then, was broken at the end of 2006 by a nearly one-hour “ Spiel Raum-Spezial ” radio portrait, which presented Riley's changeable life and varied work in German-speaking countries for the first time to a wider public.
In 1999 Riley recorded the country blues album "Shade Tree Blues" with the backing band of "hot damn!" After Riley's death, a selection of the two albums (14 of 30 songs) was released in 2009 under the title "The Many Sides of Billy Lee Riley ... (Best of Billy's Blues)".
