The Players: JP Williams - New York City boy who first learned to love and play Chicago & Country Blues from a friend in Brooklyn. Now back performing his music as he should be, and loving every minute of it. Vito Luizzi - A master BLUESMAN, he has played all over the world with many of the very finest musicians. That list is very long, but suffice to say he is a past member of The Johnny Winter Band. Eddie The Harp - Just one of the best damn Blues Harp men around. Period! Steve Hertzog - Great Blues bassist/singer and a very talented songwriter in his own right. Lou Pereyra - Sound Man Extraordinaire - No Lou, no "Smokin' Hot" EP. Special thanks to my band mates for giving their time and talent to this project. I am so lucky and honored to play music with them and the other JP Williams Blues Band players who regularly perform with me, Jack Roberts, Robert Strunk & Tom Shaw. And for the amazing work of "Sound Guy" Lou Pereyra for his skill and patience mixing and recording these performances. Special thanks to Patti Lacek Davis & Buddy Davis for supporting us and the other local musicians who perform at The Bongo Road House. And big thanks to all the friends and fans who come out to hear us play because without them, we would have to play at home. Last, but not least, to my loving wife Dana and our family Matt & Leslie Williams, who support me in my music and all other things in our lives together. This EP is dedicated to all of you.
