In the Studio: B.B. King Cuts Fifties-Style Set
Rock and Roll Daily (Free subscription) | 07/03/2008
When producer T Bone Burnett first met with B.B. King, he presented the blues legend with a simple mission statement: “I’d like for you to go back to the Fifties and do some of the stuff as you did it then.” At 82, King wondered whether he could really re-create what he calls “the B.B. [...]

John Mayer @ Academy 1
Manchester Online (Free subscription) | 06/26/2008
But Mayer’s crowd was as mixed as you like - male and female, kids and grown-ups, grizzled guitar aficionados and hip young things.As Mayer launched into the promised blues, they quickly recognised that beneath the T-Bone Walker-style groove and the BB King-like tone of Mayer’s Gibson guitar lurked not some old standard but the bare bones of Duffy’s Mercy.

LOWELL FULSON: (2004) Classic Cuts 1946-1953 (JSP BOXSET - 4CDS) @ VBR
BLUES TOWN (The City Of Blues) (Free subscription) | 05/31/2008
CD -- A: Oakland California 1946 to 1953 This isn't a rags-to-riches story, even though travelling the world and entretaining millions during a fifty-year career would be a solid foundation for it to be. Like his fellow innovators T-Bone Walker and B.B. King , LOWELL FULSON was an intelligent, warm-hearted individual, proud of his achievements but not immodest. Although he lacked the background team...

Your birthday today: You are ambitious. You are self-satisfied and determined, sometimes stubborn. You like social life, especially in a circle above your own, and can readily adapt yourself to it. Your home is very dear to you ; you constantly make sacrifices and spare no expense to make it better and happier. In your social circle you may find 1926 leola mae oberman, written into the book as sharing...

They Call It Stormy Monday

Another little blogger in Memphis has belittled the Feel Good Friday competition and showed us the kind of chump stuff he would post if he deigned to play. Well, little blogger, I'm going to show you this stuff is like falling off a log for me. Check back each day this week, if you dare, to see if I run out of great material as you predicted. First, the seminal T-Bone Walker, doing his immortal

Johnny Winter
Live on 35mm - by Valerio Berdini (Free subscription) | 05/18/2008
Is it a privilege to photograph Johnny Winter? I must be frank I am not sure any longer. A famous Italian song translate somehow as “…All heroes are young and beautiful…”. Unconsciously I must have believed it. I am a blues fan. I was looking forward to this; approaching Johnny Winter is not only the closest I could [...]

CLARENCE 'GATEMOUTH' BROWN: Alright! Again (Link Update - 320kbps)
BLUES TOWN (The City Of Blues) (Free subscription) | 05/14/2008
One of the most satisfying contemporary Brown discs of all for the discerning blues fan. Nothing but swinging, horn-abetted blues adorn this album, as Gate pays tribute to an influence and a protege by covering T-Bone Walker's "Strollin' with Bones" and Albert Collins's "Frosty." Brown's jauntily revives Junior Parker's "I Feel Alright Again" and Percy Mayfield's "Give Me Time to Explain," while his...
