Today in Music – 1990 – The Music World loses Stevie Ray Vaughan

Lunchtime Music: John Mayall, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells – “Messin’ with the Kid”

Ok so this one will be quick, this morning I was looking around for some morning music and came across this dynamite video featuring John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. Now I have been a fan of John Mayall since the early 70s and Buddy…

Lurrie Bell – Blues in My Soul

This morning I gave part of Lurrie Bell‘s new album Blues in My Soul a first listen and it’s a keeper! Bell, the son of renowned blues harmonica player, Carey Bell, is a top-flight guitar player and blues man. The Boston Blues News says: If there is a Chicago Blues…

Book 28 of 2013 – Tess Gerritsen – The Silent Girl
