Floyd Lee is the alias of Mr. Ted Williams, born in Mississippi in 1933. He began playing blues as a teenager, and wandered across America playing music. He moved to New York City, Harlem specifically, in 1972, immersing himself in the music of the city. Mr. Williams was one of the 1st musicians in the Art For Transit (Music Under New York) program, which organized musicians playing in the subways of the cities. He has been playing subway stations, street corners, clubs and even in the schools of New York City ever since. Mr. Williams’ musical partner is Joel Poluck. While Ted handles the vocal chores, Joel supplies the guitars and much of the music for the band. Poluck is originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Canada, and has been in musical partnership with Williams for most of a decade now, which has included producing 4 CDs for Floyd Lee Band on the Amogla Records label. The Floyd Lee Band per this album consisted of Floyd Lee (vocals), Joel Poluck (guitars), Brad Vickers (bass and acoustic guitar) and Steve Pozzelanti (drums and washboard.) Williams (Floyd Lee) and Poluck have combined their respective powerful talents into an even larger, more powerful combined sound, one which is solely their own. They combine the best aspects of traditional Delta juke stylings with modern slide guitar-driven sounds, leading to a soulful, addictive, more-powerful blend that is nearly impossible to ignore. The fact that their music isn’t better known is shame, because this music truly deserves a much wider audience. To quote Floyd Lee: “Blues is wantin' somethin' you ain't got...wishin' for somethin'...lovin' somethin' that's gone. Yeah, that's the blues.” Blues is music from the heart and soul, for the heart and soul, and the Floyd Lee Band understands that in-full.
