He was eleven years old when he met blues legend Howlin' Wolf from Chicago. The massive fellow took good care of the kid and told him to listen to the music of Charlie Patton and Son House, if he wanted to play the blues himself. Along with Joe Henry and T-Bone Burnett, Colin Linden must be regarded one of today's prominent roots and blues producers. Colin has produced about a 100 albums, including projects for The Band, Colin James, Janiva Magness, Bruce Cockburn and many others. Most of all, he's an accomplished, stylish slide guitar virtuoso, playing on more than three hundred releases.
'Still Live' is Colin's twelfth solo album and his first live record after thirty years. 'Who's Been Talking' is his tribute to Howlin' Wolf. Next to the Chester Burnett composition, there are eleven Linden songs on the album, recorded in a small club in Nashville.
