Listener Comments

Matt:

"Hey Tony. Just thought I would drop you a line and see if you
have considered doing a pod cast focusing on a particular artist. I
notice that some of the groups at garageband.com have multiple tracks
in multiple genres. It would also be interesting to hear from the
different artists. Just a thought."


Chris:

"Thanks for the show – I have been listening to Dave Raven for a
few months, and heard your podcast mentioned by him. I have downloaded
all your shows and am loving the music!"

Blues News


  • April 16 – On this day in 1976, Boz Scaggs was knocked
    unconscious by two bouncers outside of Antone’s after attempting to go
    backstage to see the headliner, Bobby "Blue" Bland. The confrontation
    began when Scaggs was not let backstage despite him claiming he was
    invited by a member of Bland’s group.

  • April 17 – On this day in 1952, Howlin’ Wolf entered
    the Sun Recording Studio in Memphis and recorded "Bluebird",
    "(Well)That’s Alright", and "Saddle My Pony" with legendary Sun founder
    Sam Phillips at the controls. Phillips later said of Howlin’ Wolf in
    that session, "His eyes would light up, you’d see the veins on his neck
    and, buddy, there was NOTHING on his mind but that song. He sang with
    his damn soul."

  • April 20 – On this day in 1966, Albert King backed by
    Booker T. & The MGs, recorded a minor key number called "Laundromat
    Blues" (Stax 190) in the Stax Studios in Memphis. It reached number 29
    on the R&B chart and has become one of Albert King’s signature
    songs.

  • April 23 – On this day in 1955, Ray Charles returned
    to Florida long enough to record "Drown In My Own Tears", and
    "Hallelujah, I Love Her So", in the studios of WMAQ Miami, for Atlantic
    Records. That day Ray also recorded the gospel drenched "A Fool For
    You" which eventually reached #1 on the R&B chart. Not a bad day’s
    recording work, huh?
