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....

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:Almost

Stevie Ray Vaughn 2008-08-10 09:07:00 Bernie Mac's untimely death got me to thinking about a lot of things, mostly about how much he will be missed and all the laughter he brought to the world. Then I started thinking about others that have died before their time and of coarse I thought of Stevie
