Jeff Pitchell is your typical overnight success story. That is, if you consider paying your dues on the Northeast club circuit for 15 years to be overnight. 

Actually, Pitchell’s story of steady work is a likely scenario for most musicians, and seeing his latest album, ‘‘Heavy Hitter’’ on the Pyramid label. Seated firmly in the No. 7 spot on Billboard’s top-selling blues CDs, is a source of satisfaction.
