Blues
Dewey Terry (1938 - 2003) grew up in Pasadena, California. As a teenager, he sang falsetto vocals in a local doo-wop group, 'The Squires'. Reasoning (perhaps incorrectly) that there was more money to be made in a smaller group, Terry and his friend Don "Sugarcane" Harris left the group in 1957 to perform as 'Don and Dewey'. The duo recorded several classic, blistering Rock & Roll numbers on the Specialty label and others, but never had any significantly charting hits.track listing:
It appears that this 1972 album was Dewey Terry's only 'solo' record. It was recorded for the short-lived Tumbleweed record label, based out of Denver, Colorado. The 'Chief' LP is a fun and funky mixed-genre batch of rock, soul, blues and funk. It received a Grammy nomination for Aaron Schumaker's 'writing tablet' artwork and album packaging. john scarrott
