Billy Flynn (born August 11, 1956) is an American Chicago blues and electric blues guitarist, singer and songwriter. In addition to his own work, and those mentioned later, Flynn has worked and recorded with Bryan Lee, Little Smokey Smothers, Mark Hummel, Willie Kent, Snooky Pryor, Big Bill Morganfield, John Brim, Jody Williams, Little Arthur Duncan, Deitra Farr, and Billy Boy Arnold. ==Biography== Flynn was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, United States.〔 In 1970, a local blues club opened and Flynn was inspired by the music provided there by Luther Allison, Johnny Littlejohn and Mighty Joe Young. Flynn was fortunate to be spotted playing outside the venue by Jimmy Dawkins, who arranged for Flynn to play with him on stage. This led to Flynn joining Dawkins' backing band in 1975, and he played and toured with them until the end of the decade. Flynn also worked locally during this period and played alongside Sunnyland Slim. In the early part of the 1980s, Flynn was a member of the touring ensemble, Jim Liban and the Futuramics.〔 In the late 1980s, Flynn joined The Legendary Blues Band. He also had a spell playing with Mississippi Heat.〔 Willie "Big Eyes" Smith's 2008 album, ''Born in Arkansas'', utilized Flynn, plus bassman Bob Stroger, pianist Barrelhouse Chuck, Little Frank Krakowski and his Smith's own son and drummer, Kenny "Beedy Eyes" Smith. In August 2010, Flynn and Kid Ramos backed Kim Wilson at the Edmonton's Labatt Blues Festival.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Billy Flynn (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
