Jerry McCain, often billed as Jerry "Boogie" McCain (June 18, 1930 – March 28, 2012),[1] was an American electric blues musician,[2] best known as a harmonica player.[3]

Biography

Born near Gadsden, Alabama, United States, he was one of five children of a poor family. Many of his siblings also became involved in music, most notably his brother, Walter, who played drums on some early recordings.[1] McCain picked up the harmonica from itinerant musicians "Chick" and "Shorty" who played at the local bars (and street corners) when he was young.

McCain was a fan of the music of Little Walter and met the artist when, in 1953, he traveled to Gadsden for a show.[1] McCain's recording debut came via Trumpet Records the same year under the name "Boogie McCain", with his brother Walter on drums. The two tracks were "East of the Sun" and "Wine-O-Wine". After recruiting Christopher Collins, who would be with him throughout most of his career, he went on to the Excello label. During his years with Excello (1955–57) he developed his amplified harmonica style, and unusual blues lyrics. The Excello label period saw the release of such noted songs as "The Jig's Up", and "My Next Door Neighbor". His later recording for Rex Records "She's Tough" b/w "Steady" was an inspiration to The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Kim Wilson duplicated McCain's harp work on their version.[1]

McCain also released singles and albums for Columbia, under their Okeh Records record label (1962), and for the Shreveport-based Jewel label (1965–68).[1] The complete collection of his Jewel recordings are available on a compilation album and, in recent years, several of his early recordings have been released on "retrospective" compilation CDs, including the Varese Vintage album, Good Stuff!. His longest recording partner, Ichiban, also released several compilations in 1990s, including Jerry McCain (Retrospectives) (ICH-1516).

In 1989, after a period spent performing and touring with lesser known bands, McCain signed with Ichiban, and released the albums: Blues 'n' Stuff, Struttin' My Stuff, Love Desperado, and I've Got the Blues All Over Me. During his time with Ichiban, McCain also released one record on the Jericho label, This Stuff Just Kills Me, which featured John Primer, Jimmie Vaughan, and Johnnie Johnson.[1] This 1999 release, This Stuff Just Kills Me eventually appeared on the Music Maker label.

In 2002, Ichiban released an album called Jerry McCain (American Roots: Blues).[1] McCain's abridged work was featured on track 8 of the Rhino Records Blues Masters, Volume Four: Harmonica Classics, with an almost lost recording of "Steady". McCain's inclusion in the Blues Master series, was alongside Little Walter, Jimmy Reed, Junior Wells, Howlin' Wolf, Snooky Pryor, and George "Harmonica" Smith.

The City of Gadsden honored McCain by including his own day at their annual Riverfest Event;[4] a four-day music event. The addition of The Jerry McCain Broad Street Blues Bash rounded out the entertainment and allowed many local citizens to experience McCain. A commemorative CD, featuring some of McCain's music, was compiled for sale at the 1997 Riverfest Event. In 1996, McCain was selected by the Etowah Youth Orchestras as the most well-known musician from Gadsden. The EYO commissioned the composer Julius Williams to write a work for solo harmonica and orchestra, to be performed by McCain and the Etowah Youth Symphony Orchestra, as a part of the City of Gadsden's Sesquicentennial Celebration. "Concerto for Blues Harmonica and Orchestra" was premiered in November 1996, on the EYO's Fall Formal Concert at Wallace Hall, on the campus of Gadsden State Community College. McCain performed the solo harmonica part with the EYSO, under the direction of Michael R. Gagliardo. The "Concerto" was subsequently performed in Alice Tully Hall, at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City in June 1997, with McCain, the EYSO, and Julius Williams conducting.
