The Music
Tony Adams, Drums, Percussions, Studio Tech, Producer, Vocals, Song Writer, Arranger and a musicians musician. Tony has
worked with the Big Rock bands to the small label bands; his work ethic is always the same 110 percent all time. What he
brings to The Pocket Rockets is very valuable and if you’ve heard any of the CD’s you’ll know what we’re talking about.
Tony is a team player and leader.
Morris Cummings aka ”Blind Mississippi Morris” ,Vocals, Harmonica and Song Writer who can suck the reeds clean out of a
harmonica and ferocious vocals bring a Blues song back to the days of Howlin Wolf. Morris was raised in the Blues next door
to Howlin’ Wolf’s Mom and heard Sonny Boy Williamson number ii “Rice Miller” as a child along with his Uncle Robert and
Aunt Mary Diggs. Morris says when he delivers a song if you don’t believe it how anybody else is going to.
Brad Webb, Producer, engineer, Mixer, Guitar Tech, Songwriter, Guitarist and sometimes Bass player, brings the whole
package together and if you’ll give The Pocket Rockets a listen you’ll hear it. Brad first heard the Blues live at the Overton
Park Shell in the late 60’s and took the Blues very serious like a family heirloom.
Dan Cochran, Bass guitar, vocals, songwriter, arranger and all around coolheaded human being (you know there has to be one
in the mix) Dan’s Dad played guitar and pedal steel so his ears were opened up at an early age. Like superman, Dan is mild
mannered by day and a Superman on Bass guitar, always coming up with Super Bass lines.
Russell Wheeler, Piano, vocals and B-3 organ. I met Russell on Beale ST, where I met Morris. Russell was taken on the
road by Junior Wells at the age of 19. He loved the Blues from a teenager and you can tell it if you ever see him perform-
“Russell be all over it” Russell shows up on our second CD “Bad To Worse”, which some people say it their best.
In the last 22 years, Ive had the pleasure of working with
some of Memphis and the surrounding areas finest
musicians, young and old, male or female and I loved
playing and recording music with everyone of them and I
hope you enjoy it too.
Brad Webb and Friends
was really just a tip of the
hat to my old friends;some
are no longer with us, like
Uncle Ben, Joe Turner,
Roosevelt Briggs, Joel
Schumacher and Ollie
NIghtengale. The
recording quality is not
state of the art but the
songs are timeless and we
had a great time recording
them.
Brad Webb and Friends II is
really a follow up from the first
CD. Willie Foster, along with
Ollie Nightengale, Uncle Ben,
John Weston, Richard Hite,
and Joe Turner are no longer
with us but the songs are.
Tony Adams, Robert
Nighthawk, and Dan Cochran
are a big part of the studio
team.
Brad Webb and Friends III
has special guest Blind
Mississippi Morris, Ollie
Nightengale, Joe Turner,
Howard Grimes, Uncle Ben
and Miss Zeno, just to name
a few Memphis greats that
appear on this CD.
Brad Webb and Friends IV,
once again all my Memphis
comrades and me, fortunately
everyone was still living when
this one came out. Eddie Juke
from Mansfield UK is still a
Memphis man to me.
