Very sorry to hear of his passing,apparently he died in a traffic accident http://www.brandonsun.com/entertainm...wAllComments=y
One report has it that he played a gig the night before in Dunedin, Florida.
Here is an interview with the blues legend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WQjhk_rHBA
I saw Eddie at the Chunky Rhythm and Blues Festival in 88.....didn't know about his Detroit connection until years later.
I hadn't seen a scarf tied like that since 63.
He put on a solid show of the real deal......left it all on stage......and drove off in a station wagon packed to the gills.
As he disappeared in the woods, my friend said...."Now That's a BLUESMAN!"
R.I.P.
