Bluestime bio from WiKI…. “In 1992, Magic Dick re-united with his old friend and band mate Jay Geils and formed the band Bluestime. Bluestime featured Steve Ramsey on drums, Jerry Miller on guitar, and Roy McCloud on bass. McCloud was later replaced by Michael “Mudcat” Ward, who played with the band for several years before leaving to pursue other interests. Ward was subsequently replaced by bassist John Turner. The band was a fusion of Chicago blues and classic jazz. The band released two records on the Rounder Records label: Bluestime (1994) (iTunes), Little Car Blues (1996) (iTunes)
Bluestime toured heavily up to at least 2002, as both a solo act and as part of B.B. King‘s Bluesfest.
