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!

Audio Fidelity To Release B.B. King
& Eric Clapton “Riding With The King” On Limited Edition Numbered Hybrid
SACD
Two Masters Produce a Contemporary Blues
Gem!
Camarillo, CA - In honor of the recent
passing of blues guitar legend B.B. King, Marshall Blonstein's Audio Fidelity
will be releasing B.B. King & Eric Clapton “Riding With The King” on Limited
Hybrid SACD. This SACD should satisfy fans of King, Clapton and blues purists
alike. “Riding With The King” was Eric Clapton's and B.B. King's first
collaborative recording and it went on to win the 2000 Grammy Award for Best
Traditional Blues Album. The album reached #1 on Billboard's Top Blues
Albums.
They first performed together in 1967 when
Clapton was 22 and a member of Cream. Clapton looked up to King and had always
wanted to make an album with him. At the time of recording Clapton was 55 and
King 74. Clapton arranged the session using many of his
regular musicians, picked the songs, and co-produced with his partner Simon
Climie. While this would appear to be a Clapton album recorded with King,
Clapton gave King center-stage.
The set list includes lots of
vintage King specialties, “Ten Long Years,” “Three O'Clock Blues,” “Days of
Old,” “When My Heart Beats Like a Hammer,” as well as standards like “Hold On
I'm Coming” and “Come Rain or Come Shine,” with some specially written and
appropriate new material. King takes Clapton deeper into blues territory than he
has ever gone alone and these two artists play the blues with conviction. There
may never be another album that links the Delta Blues to modern rock with such
style, grace, enthusiasm, and honesty.

The sexologist and music critic, Ernest Borneman , stated that Bogan along with Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith , was in "the big three of the blues". She was born Lucille Anderson in Amory, Mississippi , United States, and raised in Birmingham, Alabama . In 1916, she married Nazareth Lee Bogan , a railwayman, and gave birth to a son. She first recorded vaudeville songs for Okeh Records in New York in 1923, with pianist Henry Callens . Later that year she recorded " Pawn Shop Blues " in Atlanta, Georgia , which was the first time a black blues singer had been recorded outside New York or Chicago.

Charles LoBue was one of the fathers of the custom electric guitar business. Charles came to the industry after taking classes from Michael Gurian, first working in and around the guitar repair business in NYC in the mid 60's. Charles' interest in the business began by doing basic repairs on factory made guitars. These were primarily made by Gibson and Fender, the "Gold Standard" for electric guitars, as well as any guitar including acoustics which came through the door. As a professional player in the U.S. in the 60's, Gibson and Fender were the most likely choices if you wanted an electric guitar. It is well known that the Brits used European made guitars as well, primarily due to their accessibility. By the mid late 60's both companies had been sold to larger corporations which were not primarily in the guitar business. The basic perception even today is that the guitars made by these companies during this period were inferior in quality and also l...
It is with great sadness to report that J. Blackfoot (born John Colbert , November 20, 1946) died today, November 30, 2011 at Methodist Germantown Hospital near Memphis, TN.
