"I got a house full of trouble and got a suitcase full of blues, but I never had no trouble, see, til I start with you." Ishman Bracey, 1929.
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founding member Jimmy Fadden always admired early blues music. It made him want to kick back, sing, play his harmonica. He met some folks, and formed Suitcase Full Of BluesWhen Jimmie had some time off from Festivals and performances with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, he teamed up with Bluesman Al Fuller to have some fun playing the Blues.
