TRACK OF THE DAY: “Bad Luck Baby” off the CD Monkey Medicine by TheNick Gravenites / John Cipollina Band

Proper, tough electric blues played with taste and at a decent speed by true masters of the genre and yes, it’s the same Cipollina, the deceased guy out of QMS. Excellent ‘kick-arse’ take-no-prisoners Chicago Blues from white guys who know their stuff. Love it! As usual, I got this album off eBay for next to […]

HEADPHONES: Music that’ll make your hi-fi or headphones sing?

Steve Guttenberg writes: Michael Bloomfield was, for my money, the best white blues guitar player of the 1960s. He started recording for Columbia Records in 1964, and his stinging electric guitar ignited Bob Dylan’s “Highway 61 Revisited” LP in 1965. His work with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, later with his own group, the Electric […]

This is the opposite of […]
