The after-hours routine may have been on the up, but the sound of urban blues was on its way down, getting funkier, heavier, picking up a Zeppelin echo from the British rock scene that had raided its larder. Thankfully, lightening came by way of a lanky white guy skulking from club to club with a camera and strobe light. Chicago photographer Michael Abramson hit Perv’s House, Pepper’s Hideout, The High Chaparral, The Patio Lounge, and The Showcase Lounge nightly, not to capture the artists on stage but instead popping off a half-dozen rolls every night exclusively on the seldom photographed crowd.\u003cbr\u003eLight: On The South Side gathers more than 100 beautiful black and white Abramson images, as Numero shines its own light on yet another dark corner of the musical past. The 132-page hardback book features not just these photos, but an extended and wildly colorful ephemera section, plus an essay by British novelist and Numero fan Nick Hornby. Housed in a gorgeous slipcase with the 12X12 monograph is the 2LP set Pepper’s Jukebox, a 17-track compilation of Chicago blues in transition, as heard from both the stage and the Wurlitzer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003cbr\u003eA1 Arelean Brown – I'm A Streaker Baby\u003cbr\u003eA2 Bobby Rush – Bowlegged Woman, Knock Kneed Man\u003cbr\u003eA3 Ricky Allen – No Better Time Than Now\u003cbr\u003eA4 Little Mac Simmons – The Same One\u003cbr\u003eA5 Lady Margo – This Is My Prayer (To Find Someone Of My Own)\u003cbr\u003eB1 Andrew Brown – You Made Me Suffer\u003cbr\u003eB2 Artie White – Gimmie Some Of Yours (I'll Give You Some Of Mine)\u003cbr\u003eB3 Lucille Spann – Womans Lib\u003cbr\u003eB4 Hugh Hawkins – Bring It Down Front\u003cbr\u003eC1 Slim Willis Band – I Sayed That\u003cbr\u003eC2 Little Ed \u0026amp; the Soundmasters – It's A Dream\u003cbr\u003eC3 Syl Johnson – Is It Because I'm Black (Inst.)\u003cbr\u003eC4 Walter \"Butterball\" Davis – Baby (Wacha Doin' To Me)\u003cbr\u003eC5 Willie Williams – Detroit Blues\u003cbr\u003eD1 Little Mac Simmons – Goose Walk\u003cbr\u003eD2 Detroit Jr. – Young Blood\u003cbr\u003eD3 Willie Davis – I Learned My Lesson\u003cbr\u003eD4 James Kinds \u0026amp; Stack – California Lady\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NUMERO GROUP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46634276618396,"sku":"NUM033LP-C2","price":72.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/LightOnTheSouthSideLPrender.jpg?v=1775407045","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/various-artists-light-on-the-south-side-2lp-black-white-splatter","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
