You do the math. Over 100 strictly Blues albums since 1971, 24 Grammy nominations, and a slew of recordings that won Blues Music Awards. From his first effort producing Hound Dog Taylor and the Houserockers to his production of Koko Taylor’s 2007 CD Old School, Bruce Iglauer has always brought a professional’s honest dedication and a fan’s passionate enthusiasm into the studio. The hundreds of recordings he has worked on have become essential to the canon of modern Blues. Not only has Bruce accurately captured the signature sound of Blues elders like Koko Taylor, Albert Collins, Lonnie Brooks, Carey Bell, James Cotton, Son Seals, and Katie Webster, but Bruce has been instrumental in producing the unique sounds of new talent like Michael Burks, Lil’ Ed & the Blues Imperials, Little Charlie & the Nightcats, Kenny Neal, Saffire, and Shemekia Copeland. Whether acoustic, back porch, swingin’ jump, or fiery Blues Rock, Bruce Iglauer is always committed to bringing out the real Blues.
