Re: Blues Friday New Page

Great music CG

I enjoyed it a lot

I have to say I was giggling a bit on the working class blues song when the camera showed his right side and his arm was jiggling - it made the lady in his tatto look like she was really shaking it to !! smile  smile  smile

But the dude can really play - good stuff !

Re: Blues Friday New Page

TIGLJK thank you. At first just the name he used and the s jiggling got to me too. He also had a reputation of being  a great player and singer.  I imagine he had had a weight problem since he was young and  it  takes a lot to go byPapa Chubby.

Re: Blues Friday New Page

Peatle Jville than you. I Iwould like it if he went but I kind of doubt he know what  the inside of a gym looks like.   He actually started on drums and then switched to guitar and he is considered good on guitar and his singing is very good too.

Re: Blues Friday New Page

The clip "The traveler" was outstanding.
Loved how the explained the guitar, showed the production side. I would also love to have that garage and all those guitrs - it must be what JJJ's garage looked like at some point ( less the bread machine of course) smile
The song was terrific.

The song " I want a Woman like you"  was also fantastic.   The video is really well done.

His "While we cry" is a beautiful rendition - such passion - came from his heart for sure.
The "Boy with the broken heart" is awesome -  the other singer {Noah) has a fantastic voice and brings passion to the song in his performance- super solo by KWS as well.

I had never heard of him before - but I sure will listen to him a lot more now - this music is right up comfort zone. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Keep the good stuff coming !

Re: Blues Friday New Page

He is good and most of what I could find on line I posted so different stuff was the same song at a different venue so I had to be careful. Since . He is the blond guy and he plays and sings too. On of the band members  has  a great singing voice too.

This Friday I am featuring Jonny Lang who is a blues singer and writer and guitarist.

He got his start playing guitar for his friends on the Vallagers' porch at their lake place. He would play everything from modern hits to the classics, even performing an astounding rendition of Jimi Hendrix's take on the National Anthem. Soon after his father took him to see the Bad Medicine Blues Band, one of the few blues bands in Fargo, Lang started taking guitar lessons from Ted Larsen, the band's guitar player. Several months after Lang began, he joined the band, which was then renamed Kid Jonny Lang & The Big Bang.

This is absolutely fantastic !
What a find !
Ruthie has a great voice and the music is superb.
I urge all of you to check out the song Walk On that CG  listed above..... @ about 2:50 - check out her voice ---- I would challenge any of the pop stars of today to match it !  Great song at the Dallas Music festival.   She seems so down to Earth and just in love with playing music - terrific performer.
The song Lord Remember Me is one of the best blues / gospel songs I've ever heard- what passion and emotion in that performance.
Thanks for another incredulous Friday blues morning.
I really appreciate what you do !
