Saw Buddy tonight in Knoxville. He is fun, and amazing.

from "The Blues Dream of Billy Boy Arnold" the 2021 autobiography of Chicago electric blues harmonica master, singer, and songwriter Billy Boy Arnold.

Hey blues-folks! I'm pretty stoked to finally release my debut album, Blood On The Moon.

It's a punchy blues rock record with ten tracks, with a bit of alt-country thrown into the middle to settle the mood. Most of it was recorded in my home studio, with the drums recorded at a separate studio.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Just heard this fantastic new track today! I have been playing it over and over and have already added it to the playlist.

What do you think of Robert Cray’s new song, Push Through?

My girl, my girl, don't lie to me

Where did you sleep last night?

Huddie Leadbelly has so much soul in his music.

I know how it feels to have the blues. Can't let life keep a person down and feeling the blues. Got to also make sure that the blues doesn't keep you from doing what you enjoy.

I'm a 60 something woman who's been a big blues (and all American roots music) fan for more than 40 years. This December, I plan to drive from New York to the south to visit relatives in Huntsville, AL.

I would really like to take my time and take some day trips and maybe overnighters to key locations for American roots music - of course the blues, but also all roots music.

I have already planned a trip to Muscle Shoals and Tupelo. Jumping over to Holly Springs and Clarksdale Miss and maybe Helena.

Any places of note to see and of course to stand on the crossroads and museums and catch live music too.

I will be solo.

For any of those who have done a similar journey, would surely appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

Peace.

These Monel strings are great. I used Martin's MTR-13, and it's easily the best set of strings I've ever played. These strings actually sound better as they wear in and rust a bit, which is kinda weird tho.
