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!

|
|
ZAC HARMON
"RIGHT MAN
RIGHT NOW"
Zac Harmon is an award-winning guitarist, organist, singer, and songwriter
whose distinctive style combines the best of old-school soul-blues artists
with modern lyrics and themes that bring the blues into a new century.
|
Right Man Right Now is contemporary
music that proves just how alive and relevant the blues is today.
Addressing issues straight from today’s headlines, Zac presents them in
a fresh original style built on the best blues tradition. And he
has some incredibly talented musicians helping him - guests include Bobby
Rush, Lucky Peterson, Anson Funderburgh and Mike Finnegan.
After a very successful twenty-plus year career as a songwriter and producer
in Los Angeles, where he worked with the likes of the O'Jays, the Whispers,
Evelyn "Champagne" King, Black Uhuru, and Michael Jackson, Zac
moved to Dallas to pursue his dream of becoming a top-flight touring blues
artist
The album provides definitive proof that
Zac Harmon is indeed the right man to firmly establish all that blues can and
should be right now in the second decade of the new millennium.
CDs available at fine
shops everywhere - support your local record store! CDs and downloads
are also available from Amazon. And you
can get downloads from this and other fine Blind Pig recordings at the Pig

ANDY T - NICK NIXON
BAND
"NUMBERS
MAN"
The Andy T-Nick Nixon Band displays musicianship at its highest. The blues
has a history of great partnerships, and Numbers
Man offers proof positive that Andy T and Nick Nixon belong in
that select group.
|
|
Andy T’s jazz-tinged guitar style is influenced by T-Bone Walker, B.B. King,
Magic Sam, and Albert Collins among others, yet it remains his own. The
velvet-voiced Nixon, part of Nashville’s thriving blues and R&B scene in
the 60’s and 70’s, sings in a style that recalls Jimmy Witherspoon and Billy
Eckstine. Even though he’s now in his 70’s, Nixon’s voice still has all the
power and energy of a man half his age and it’s crystal clear that this man
was born to sing the blues.
Combined with Andy T’s bold, vibrant tones and equally rooted guitar style,
it makes for a uniquely satisfying brand of soulful blues. Numbers Man was produced
by renowned Texas guitarist Anson Funderburgh, and features the great Kim
Wilson’s harmonica on one of the tracks.
CDs available at fine

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 . 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. In 1927 she began recording for Paramount Records in Grafton, Wisconsin , where she recorded her first big success, " Sweet Petunia ", which was covered by Blind Blake . 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. In this way I can get out the word on new talent, venues and blues happenings! - click Here
