Album Notes

Nick Moss' blues education started early, with the help of his parents' record collection and his sneaking into blues clubs while still in high school.

At eighteen, he played bass alongside his brother Joe as a ribtip in Buddy Scott's band.

At twenty, he was touring the country with Jimmy "Fast Fingers" Dawkins.

At twenty one, Nick replaced Calvin "Fuzz" Jones of the Legendary Blues Band; the longtime bassist of Muddy Waters.

LBB's drummer, Willie "Big Eyes" Smith recommended Nick to the legendary Jimmy Rogers who was heading back to the U.S. early for a tour of his own.

Nick filled and held the coveted guitar spot in the Jimmy Rogers Band for nearly 3 years until the urge to set out on his own began.

With the encouragement of Jimmy and many club owners, Nick started his own band, "Nick Moss & the Flip Tops".
