I OWE IT ALL TO YOU. . . .
I owe it all to you Phil. If it wasn't for Phil Guy, I wouldn't have the beautiful kids I have today. I wouldn't have the career I have today. I wouldn't have the beautiful wife I have today. I wouldn't have the wonderful fans I have today. My life would have been totally different.

The reason for me saying all of this is because in 1976 I got a message from Buddy Guy, saying to call him ASAP. When I called Buddy, the first words came out of his mouth was Philip told me you're a good bass player, he highly recommened you, so I would like for you to join my band.

And that's when my life changed. I moved to Chicago, not knowing where I was going to stay or what to expect. But when I got there, Phil and his lovely wife, Jenice, took me in with open arms. I lived with them for a little over 2 years. I would offer to pay them, but they would not accept. He was the big brother I never had. He was very proud to show me off to other musicians in Chicago. He was family to The Neal's. When Buddy Guy left my father's band in 1957 to go to Chicago, Phil joined my dad's band and stayed with him till 1969, when he moved to Chicago himself.


Phil was one of the nicest people you'd want to meet. He had a big heart, he never got the recognition he deserved in the music business. But in my books, he was at the top of the list. I will miss him dearly and I'm sure he's up there with all the other great musicians having a wonderful time.

Love You Phil! (I Owe It ALL To You)
Your little Bro,
Kenny Neal

KENNY NEAL TO APPEAR ON
HOUSE OF BLUES RADIO THIS WEEKEND!
Blind Pig Records recording artist Kenny Neal will be appearing on the House Of Blues Radio Hour this coming weekend, July 12-13. On the nationally syndicated program, which is heard on over 190 stations!

Kenny will join host Elwood Blues to talk about his life, his new CD and treat us to a live performance in the House of Blues Radio Hour Studios. To find out where and when to tune in to the show in your area, CLICK HERE.

For the past few years, health problems forced Kenny away from the studio and touring, and his new Blind Pig album, Let Life Flow marks Kenny's return with an inspired set that draws musically from the funky sounds of his native Louisiana, while striking a deep, emotional resonance in response to the personal trials he has recently endured. Whether performing songs of soulful catharsis or hip-shaking celebration, Let Life Flow pays tribute to his diverse influences, while injecting a heartfelt sentiment born of the real-life, human struggles that any listener can relate to.

Vintage Guitar said "Kenny Neal's new release is full of blues and soul music of the highest standard. While Neal's always been one of his generation's finest bluesmen, Let Life Flow helps push him into the upper echelon of the genre. One of 2008's best so far."
