Alrighty then, Blues Freaks! Ya'll want harp? Oh; we are so gonna lay some serious blowin', suckin' and tongin' on ya! This week on Hammered By The Blues ( Sunday on KOWZ 10pm on 1170am. Classic episodes rebroadcast on line Tues at 9am and Sat at 11am on www.boundarywatersradio.com) we are gonna fly some blue kytes on a pentatonic breeze created by some legends on the Mississippi saxophone. We kick it with a full frontal assault by Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers off their latest tour de force ''Soul Monster'. Hang on lest you get seriously buffeted by the crosswinds as we tap the living elder statesman Charlie Musselwhite as he kicks up serious dust with 'Rough Dried, LIVE at the Triple Door'. Knowin' we have stolen yer breath; we provide you a little high pressure oxygen by Rick Estrin and the Nightcats off 'Twisted'. Hang on to somethin' bolted down, thrillseekers!
There are things we count on like death and taxes;
Tune us in and you can count on Mississippi Saxes;
Hammered By The Blues is your friend indeed;
When a gots the blues and yer soul's in need!
Hammer-time!
Clara (the Lady Wolf) Landau
By Larry Miller
Clara (the Lady Wolf) Landau is a gracious, inventive Knoxville, Tennessee-based singer/songwriter/splitkeyboardist, who loves the blues. She has several CDs in the marketplace. The most recent album, entitled "Essence...the Lady Wolf", features originals "Blues, Come and Get Me", "The Old White Wolf", "Lucky To Have the Blues", "Boy Toy Blues", "If You Want A Mean Woman", "That's the Way You Make Me Feel", along with several jazz tunes including "Catalyst", "Don't Want No More Love", "Movin' Along", and "Love Changes Everything". Clara did the art work and design for the CD, which she burns, to order, on her computer. She grew up and performed as a child-artist in southern New England, then migrated South in '87. With the expressive voice of her namesake, she tantalizes with her vocals, all the while maintaining solid bass lines and righthanded riffs on the keyboard. Clara began playing piano at age 3, composed her first song at age 5 and plays in every key. No transpose key for her, she says. She's been said to have the soul of an artist, the mind of a scientist, and the heart of a romantic. Clara knows what it's like to live the blues...that's what makes them so natural for her to write and perform. She doesn't talk about them, but her feelings and experiences weave themselves through her songs and, when she sings, she tells about it. "Boy Toy Blues" is just what it says--but slightly exaggerated. It's about a lady named "Womana". Now, Womana could really be any woman who falls for a younger man, because society says we're not supposed to do that. Well, Womana follows her heart. 'Oh wo wo wo wo wo wo wo wo, Lovin' every moment, but you know how these things go..." I wrote Womana's back-beat story the day after I wrote sultry "If You Want A Mean Woman". They both came from the same inspiration!"
`
Clara's music received international acclaim and has been featured on radio in South Australia and Germany. She's received mail from Poland, Greece, South Africa, Serbia, and France, requesting her CD's and sheet music, though she has a limited number of opportunities to perform locally. Clara is an ageless, classic study...whether she shows up with her long blond hair in bound in pigtails or blowing in the breeze...but she is down-to-earth, classy, and sincere. She's got a lot of music and heart to share. Clara and the blues ... a delicious combination. ~ Wolf ... wild, wise, sleek, swift ~ * Peace to all creatures * Visit Clara's website: http://www.planetc.com/users/clara
