"I'm in the Wrong Business" is a fiery blues CD by saxophonist and singer A.C. Reed, released on the renowned Chicago label Alligator. Known for his biting wit, soulful playing, and streetwise storytelling, Reed mixes hard-driving grooves with humorous, often self-ironic lyrics about everyday struggles, bad deals, and the ups and downs of working-class life. The album offers a blend of electric Chicago blues, sax-driven shuffles, and mid-tempo numbers that spotlight Reed's raw, expressive voice and his distinctive, punchy tenor saxophone sound. The production focuses on an authentic club feeling: tight band interaction, gritty guitar work, and an unpolished, live-in-the-studio atmosphere that suits Reed's direct style perfectly.
A.C. Reed built his reputation in the Chicago blues scene as both a sought-after sideman and a charismatic bandleader. Over the years he recorded and toured with major blues names and gained a following for his humorous, sharply observed songs and energetic stage presence. His work helped keep saxophone-led blues in the spotlight and made him a favorite among fans who appreciate both musical power and lyrical personality.
The CD is released by Alligator Records, one of the most respected independent blues labels in the world. Founded in Chicago and dedicated to "genuine houserockin' music," Alligator has been instrumental in bringing modern electric blues and roots music to an international audience. The label is known for discovering and supporting distinctive blues artists, emphasizing high-energy performances and honest, unvarnished production that captures the true sound of the genre. With "I'm in the Wrong Business," Alligator once again documents authentic contemporary blues and preserves the living tradition of the Chicago sound.
