 I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Ain't Wasting Time , from Nicky T And The Snake Charmers and it's dripping blues, soul and R&B music. Opening with Magic Sam 's, That's All I Need , Nicky T with soulful vocals and groomed guitar riffs gets into that Impressions groove. With Todd Glass on drums, Alex Lyon on bass, Chris Codish on keys, and Greg Nagy on backing vocals, this is a solid opener.

I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

    Interview at the old 8 X 10 Club in Baltimore. Interesting that he never mentioned Roy Buchanan as an influence; likely due to their on-going feud. But one listen and you can tell who his primary influence was. Those he mentioned were doubtless both influential and worthy.

    Buchanan played a longstanding gig at the Crossroads Lounge in Bladensburg, MD. Gatton is the only guy who could give Roy a run for his money on the Telecaster and their rivalry in the DC/Baltimore area is legendary.
