(Cleo Mallard)
(2CD)
Very much one of the mystery men of the blues, this singer/guitarist
caused a minor stir in the 70s with his powerful, raw blues records
which were issued on small Los Angeles labels including Goodie Train and
Las Vegas.
In 1979 JSP Records released enough material for an album which was
described by Jim DeKoster in Living Blues as ‘one of the most striking
blues albums of the past year’, but Page remains elusive. His music is
tough, no-nonsense, mostly original blues, with sometimes startling
lyrics; although JSP also issued a more contemporary-sounding risqué
single entitled ‘Hamburger-I Love To Eat It’, which was not on the
album.
Page is buried at Paradise Memorial Park in Santa Fe Springs, Los Angeles
County, California.
