I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Mustang Sally - Michael Coleman and the New Backbreakers


Voted one of the top 50 bluesmen in the world
by Guitar World Magazine, and certainly one of Chicago’s hottest guitar
slingers, Michael Coleman brings his funky twist to the blues.

A gift discovered at 4 years of age by his mother, at 8 he was
performing with his father Cleo Williams; at 13 with the top 40
band Midnight Sun during the afternoon and with Johnny Dollar
and Aaron Burton at night; at 14 with Johnny Christian; at 21
on the road with Muddy Waters; and at 22 touring Europe with
Eddy Clearwater. In 1979 at the age of 23, Michael began
his ten year tenure with The James Cotton Band.

Since 1991, with the Backbreakers backing, Michael’s opened
for such greats as B.B. King, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor,
John Lee Hooker, and Luther Allison, to name just a few.
