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!

NEW RELEASE
FROM VICTOR WAINWRIGHT & THE
WILDROOTS!
|
Blind Pig Records has released Boom Town, the latest CD from Victor Wainwright & the
WildRoots.
 |
Wainwright has
been making a name for himself in a big way as one of the most exciting keyboard
performers on the roots music scene. Known for his potent boogie piano, big soul
sounds, powerhouse blues, roots rock 'n' roll, and a voice that recalls Dr. John
and Leon Russell, he's also a two-time winner of the coveted Blues Music Award
for "Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the
Year." |
Wainwright is a raucous, high-octane dynamic
performer and a crowd pleaser with soul to spare. As American Blues
News put it, "he is always entertaining and madly talented. You will never
see Victor play a room and not go over with the crowd in a big way." He's
backed by the firepower of WildRoots, one of the tightest smokin' bands
around.
| Boom Town
is highlighted by excellent songwriting, musicianship and production, and a
unique and edgy sound that captures the energy of the band's live shows. With
the release of this tour de force of American blues and roots music, Victor's
star will surely continue to rise. |

Lucille Bogan (April 1, 1897 – August 10, 1948) was an American blues singer, among the first to be recorded. She also recorded under the pseudonym Bessie Jackson . 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 .

She also recorded for Brunswick...
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. We will keep you abreast of service information as we receive it. J. Blackfoot will truly be missed. “Like” Bman’s Facebook page (available in over 50 languages). I will not relay senseless nonsense.
