| The son of famed bluesman Snooky Pryor, Richard covers 5 of his father's songs on his 1998 debut, Pitch a Boogie Woogie. Though his harpwork is often similar to his father's, but as revivalists go -- Richard still maintains his day job of 20+ years, as a carpenter for Southern Illinois University at Carbondale to focus on the blues -- he's fairly innovative. "His own compositions," Chicago Reader critic David Whiteis says, "show even more promise: on the driving shuffle 'Thank You Baby' he coaxes everything from wobbly ululations to raw shrieks from his instrument, and 'Push a Lot of Lovin', a roguish sermon on the finer points of two-timing, is a swampy back woods lope."
