Willie Egan recorded in Southern California during the height of rock & roll popularity and his recordings reflect the wild spirit of the times. His boogie piano style was influenced by earlier masters such as Amos Milburn, Little Willie Littlefield & Camille Howard. Featuring a hopped up band, he recorded for the tiny SPRY-VITA- MAMBO labels out of Pasadena and also made some uncredited appearances on a budget label DIG THIS RECORD which covered popular tunes of the day. (credited here to "Bernie Bridges- Willie Snow- Two Crows & The Diggers). His guitarist on these sides was Lloyd Rowe whose aggressive & bright solos are a high point of the recordings..........
