Blind Willie McTell is one of those musical prodigies of music history. I had the record from back when Suzy Q Records was still a record store, and I never listened to it. The recordings are eerily bad; you can even hear traffic in the background at times. But one day I finally listened to it properly, worked my way through the interference, and then I couldn't stop listening to it. What magical songs, what complex songwriting... and even if it's overused, what punk lyrics. I covered “Dying Crapshooters Blues” on the “Desperation” LP. A tribute to a magician.

Blind Willie McTell ist einer dieser Wundermusiker der Musikgeschichte. Ich hatte die Schallplatte aus den Zeiten als Suzy Q Records noch ein Plattenladen war, und hab sie nie angehört. Die Aufnahmen sind gruslig schlecht, man hört gelegentlich sogar den Straßenverkehr im Hintergrund. Aber eines Tages habe ich es mir dann doch mal genau angehört und mich durch die Störsignale durchgearbeitet und dann konnte ich nicht mehr aufhören es anzuhören. Was für magische Lieder, was für ein komplexes Songwriting .. und auch wenn es überstrapaziert ist, was für Punk Texte. "Dying Crapshooters Blues" hab ich auf der "Desperation" LP gecovert. Ein Hommage an einen Zauberer.

Moanin' and Stompin' Blues - John Lee Hooker, Paul Howard and Ralph Willis

The first disc in this imported two disc set contains the unmistakable heavy rhythmic industrial sound of John Lee Hooker.
The second disc contains a side each from Paul Howard and Ralph Willis, bluesmen I was less familiar with. From the Carolinas, theirs is a much more rural sound, but still wonderful blues.

Great Reviews On The New Album, 1625 Groove Street

Ruffy says - Solid work! Make sure to give the sax guy a raise! :3

My friend ZDL from Wuhan, China, sent me this review on Mastodon.

I quite like this. It's nice, light fare meaning I can have it as the background when I'm working, but if I pause and concentrate on it there are some very nice depths to it. Also the sax soloist is fire.

Listen here.

@zdl @Carl

I'll be recording Bebop Beatniks with Paul Lessard again the Saturday after Easter.

Also I am recording another band I'm calling #jazz #blues #fusion featuring some fine outstanding musicians from NE Arkansas.

My new project is Fly On The Wall Recording Sessions where I livestream recording sessions and chat with the audience between takes. Just at the setup and testing stage so far.

I'll let you know when the livestreams start.
