Brand New 50's Pin Up  Video now on YOU TUBE ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzJiGBJOrEI

Tommy Johnson: I Wonder To Myself

Interesting song by Tommy Johnson.  Sounds similar to Mr. Crump by Frank Stokes, and a little like Hot Tamales by Robert Johnson.  This is a very cool ragtime blues song, with some great Kazoo playing!

Casey James: Drive

Unplugged Casey James.   Smoking

Casey James: Too Sweet For Me

Hmmmmmmmm, reminds of the good ol days in Kansas City.  How did this guy end up on American Idol???  This guy is as blues as it gets.  He can shuffle, slow blues, and blow the doors off the dump like Stevie Ray.  All I can say is the blues community better wake up and latch on to this kid.

Olga Wilhelmine

Just recieved an email from a great new singer (at least to me) called Olga Wilhelmine.  Olga has a new release available on Itunes click HERE called Whatever You Want.  Without a doubt the gem of the cd is Just Take Your Time, it has a nice 50s dowopish melody with a 80s pop sound.  Very nice!

If you would like to check out Olga's blog Click HERE.

Here is the video of Just Take Your Time.  This is a great song give it a listen.



Here is Olga in an award winning short movie



Olga playing Black Cat Bone in the French Quarter.  She is a real blueswoman.

Little Milton: Hey Hey The Blue Are Alright

Little Milton keeping the blues alive in the 80s.  Classic!

TJ Hooker-Taylor: Just Because

TJ Hooker-Taylor is the son of the great Johnnie Taylor.  As you can hear TJ carries on the family tradition.  Give it a listen!!!!

Taylor Hicks: Who Do You Love, Big Boss Man

Taylor Hicks Jamming the blues.  The man is a bluesman I just don't understand why the blues crowds haven't accepted him yet. 

Taylor Hicks: Various Jamming With Taylor Hicks

After the first couple minutes of a video montage, the live video kicks in.  Watch the volume because it will jump up at ya during the switch if you are not paying attention!!

Maceo Parker and Taylor Hicks

Taylor Hicks joining in with Maceo Parker.  Not sure where this is at, but the digital camera that person has, has an inceadable zoom lens.  From the start of the video it looks like they were way up on the upper deck of a boat!  Nice video!

Provine "Little" Hatch: Strange Things Happen

The late great Provine "little" Hatch from Kansas City playing at Nightmoves.  Not sure what year, but it had to be awhile back since Nightmoves has been gone for years.  I was lucky enough to jam with Little Hatch a couple of times over the years in KC.   He was one of the all time great Bluesmen of KC.  Enjoy.

Taylor Hicks: Hold On To Your Love

It is easy to have the blues given the current economy. Times are tough everywhere. All I can say is if you can get out and support some blues you can keep the music alive! Enjoy some Taylor Hicks.

BB King, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, and Jimmy Vaughn: Rock Me Baby

Talk about a blues summit!  BB, Buddy, Eric, and Jimmy.  NICE!

Taylor Hicks: Back To Louisanna

Been Awhile!  I have been busy, and my laptop died two days ago while I was trying to update the blog!  YIKES!  I am lucky to have my desktop that I never use, and it is a great computer, just never use it, but now I do! 

Enjoy some Taylor Hicks!   Happy Summer!!!

Josh Smith: Paying The Cost

Nice clip of Josh Smith who is a heck of a bluesman.  He is also plays lead guitar for Taylor Hicks. I think blues purists will love this clip.  Give it a listen!

Nick Curran: I Can't Quit You Baby

WOW!!!!!!  Watch this in HIGH DEF!!!!   Holy Cow!!  
BTW.  Please buy Nicks latest CD.  I guarantee it will make him feel better!!!!!
