TAIL DRAGGER WITH
FRANK FALDUTO

Legendary Chicago blues singer Tail Dragger has been performing with Frank Falduto on guitar  for the last several years. 

Originally from Altheimer, Arkansas, upon moving to Chicago he became a disciple of Howlin' Wolf who once remarked, "One day this boy will take my place." Tail Dragger became a mainstay of the West Side blues clubs and continues to perform there to this  day, often with Frank Falduto on guitar.  Tail Dragger says, "Lowdown blues is all I like... All I feel...and I sing what I feel,  It's like I get into a trance when I sing the blues, I forget about everything else. Nothing else matters."  He has three albums on Delmark Records and two performance DVD's.

Tail Dragger insists on a two-guitar lineup in his quintets where the stringbenders alternately weave leads and rhythm parts to Tail Dragger's muse.
