Kim Wilson, the legendary harmonica virtuoso and frontman of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, is preparing for what may be his most personally meaningful tour yet. The upcoming "A Tribute to Chicago Blues" tour represents a homecoming of sorts for Wilson, who cut his teeth playing alongside the very architects of the Chicago blues sound during the genre's golden era.

"That's where I live," Wilson says about Chicago blues. "This is what I love. It's what I've always loved. Everything else that I do, I try and put that mojo on it."

Wilson's connection to Chicago blues runs deep, stretching back to his teenage years when he was fortunate enough to witness and learn from the masters themselves. "I was probably about 16 years old, maybe even 15," Wilson recalls about when he first became aware of the Chicago blues scene. "All my friends were listening to that stuff and all those guys were coming in and playing live everywhere you can imagine."

The young Wilson saw legends like Johnny Shines, Muddy Waters, George "Harmonica" Smith, and Jimmy Reed perform live. More remarkably, he got to play with them. "I played with Eddie Taylor when I was 18 or 19 years old. That's about as Chicago blues as you can get," he notes.
