Hollywood Fats
January 9th, 2009
Continuing with our break down of the Top Blues Guitars. We now have Hollywood Fats. A mixure of Rock, Blues and Swing the sound from the guitar is definately fat. It's great music. You can enjoy a couple of tracks over at the myspace page of hollywood fats
Fats began back when he was 10, out of Los angeles. The band played from 1954 through to 1986.
He got the nick name from Buddy guy and junior wells. He toured with the likes of Jimmy witherspoon, James Harman, John Lee Hooker, Muddy waters and Albert King.
He died of a heroin overdose in 1986 at the age of 32.
