Background notes
Archive material and source history
Blind Ernie was a Chicago blues act in the early 1960s, led by singer-songwriter Ernie "Blind" Martin. The band's name came from Martin's blindness, which resulted from a childhood accident. They built a following in local clubs before recording their debut album, "The Blind Side," in 1967.
That album included the track "Liably," which became their most recognized song. The recording captured a particular blend of blues and soul with Martin's raw vocal delivery at the center. They followed it with albums like "Soul Stew" in 1968 and "Whispering Pines" in 1969.
Martin's songwriting tended toward personal themes, often dealing with loss and relationships. The band's sound incorporated some folk and rock elements as they continued recording into the early 1970s.
