Revelator by Tedeschi Trucks Band

admin — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 16:41:08 +0000

This is an awesome album by Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi. I’ve seen it presented frequently as a new album by The Derek Trucks Band but that’s just wrong. I’ve been a fan of both Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi for a long time now but let me tell you the album is greater than [...]

I’m a bit of a music awards junkie. I see it as a way to see who is getting recognition for their contribution to the music world. I’m almost never disappointed with nominees as music recommendations. I normally am familiar with at least 60% of the nominees in genre that I follow like blues and [...]

Billy Lavender “Memphis Livin” CD Definitely Recommended

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 23:20:11 +0000

I picked up the Billy Lavender CD last week and it seems to be stuck in the CD player of my car. Not literally but figuratively. Every time the CD finishes it starts over and it starts off with Singing the Blues and before you know it I’ve listened to the whole CD again. That’s [...]

I’m a huge Tom Waits fan but it saddens me sometimes that his performing arts (as I think his current performances are best referred to) obscure the incredible musical talent in favor of his amazing creativity. Obviously both are infinitely enjoyable. So I listen to my old Tom Waits when I want to listen to [...]

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:14:40 +0000

Good old vinyl records are making a huge come back in Canada. It’s said they sound better than CDs and maybe its my tin ear but you know I’m more into MP3s than even CDs now. But the band I play in (Kelly’s Kitchen Band, maybe you’ve heard of us) has recently started playing some [...]
