Billy Lee Riley (1933-2009) with his Blueshawk
Hi,
on the cover of Billy Lee Riley's Grammy nominated blues-album "h o t d a m n !" you could see him with his Blueshawk.
Now some of the obituarys show a photograph of Riley playing his Blueshawk on stage (where he was photographed on Feb. 9, 1997 at Bob King's 'King of Clubs' in Swifton, Ark., in 1997).
