As the adverts always have it - NEW! IMPROVED! VIM! And, no doubt, ZIP A DEE DOO-DAH! too So, Vim is a concept that can mean many things to many people. Over on the Mothership, some people seem to have objected to the idea that up tempo songs automatically means vimminess, but I don't know about that, one woman's Vim is another woman's Cillit Bang. Personally, a toe-tapping quality switches on my vim...

Paul and Annie work on one of their electric numbers. (Jim White photo) As you will no doubt remember, I was really looking forward to seeing the very fine blues duo of Paul Rishell and Annie Raines Friday night at the Thunderbird Cafe. Well, I did exactly that, and I did not leave disappointed -- just like the rest of the audience. Their ability to create an intimate evening of passionate music carved...

Rock music ascended into heaven the minute guitarist {{Jimi Hendrix = 13353}} left the stage on Max Yasgur's farm, Monday morning, August 18, 1969. The Woodstock Music and Art Fair was a cultural hinge between the soulful, struggling 1960s and the sinful, superfluous 1970s. The release of The Woodstock Experience commercially mirrors this hinge. The box contains two-CD sets by Santana, Janis Joplin,...

Several of Johnson’s contemporaries are quoted in the article, including Steve Morse, Billy Gibbons, Johnny Winter, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, [...]

Well, not really but it sounded good. Now, I love Bob Dylan but there are a few songs of his that others have done far better (in my humble opinion). First up, a Jimi Hendrix cover: Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower And then: Johnny Winter - Highway 61 Revisited It's the guitar work ...
