Keith Taylor Sings 2008-07-19 12:54:00 I was standing in the line at the pawn shop today trying to pay some bills and looked up on the wall to see a poster of KeithTaylor
with a caption that said something to the effect of "if it ain't been in the pawn shop, then it can't play the blues" :)Click the title link for a sampling of Keith Taylor. Be sure to check out the rhythm and blues section. Makes me want to move to Texas....
John Prine, Arlo Guthrie, Country Joe McDonald 2008-07-17 09:21:00 Today I am needing a great big break from the politics of the day and all the worry and such. So from time to time I just need a dose of music that made me feel good back during a time when things were more simple for me. The music of the 60's. The times were not easy but the main difference was that people cared about the issues put in front of them, whether they be right or wrong, they cared. To Read more:Guthrie

Dweezil Zappa 2008-07-16 09:02:00 Dweezil Zappa

Repost 6/19/08: Time for Some More Blues 2008-06-20 09:13:00 Y'all should know by know that I can't go very long without a blues day :)I can not believe this but I just discovered Norma Jean Bruso! Found her over at Cahl's Juke Joint: A rock, blues and jazz blog. "To say that Bruso has a big voice is an understatement. In the album's liner notes, Koko Taylor says Bruso sounds just like she did when Taylor was young. That's not far off."Here you go:Can't Sha Read more:Blues

Repost 5/30/08: I'm Tore Down, Almost Level with the Ground 2008-06-20 09:03:00 Lately, I've been thinking about my life...how I got to this point, why I always took the hard road, where I'm going from here, etc. I'm questioning whether or not I am ever going to be a social worker and if so, if I will be a good one. If not, what then? I came across a YouTube video tonight that about explains where I'm at right now, but it also brought up a great childhood memory. The very fir Read more:Repost

Repost 3/31/08: It's about time for another "blues artist" post 2008-06-20 08:48:00 I get a great many visitors from CrossroadsClub27, mostly from European countries looking for blues or at the very least expecting to find a similar site to CR27. No, I have to tell them that site is one of a kind. I do pick a blues artist from time to time and review their history and music. I do have much blues related content to the left in the finetune player if you would like to have a listen Read more:Repost
