	Little Walter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in Marksville, Louisiana, Jacobs is generally included among blues music greats: Ry Cooder 's opinion is that Jacobs was the single greatest blues musician ever.
		Jacobs grew tired of being drowned out by electric guitarists, and developed a simple, but previously unused method: He cupped a small microphone in his hand while he played harmonica, and plugged the microphone into a guitar or public address amplifier.
		His legacy has been enormous: He established the standard vocabulary for blues and blues rock harmonica players for more than 50 years, from Paul Butterfield to John Popper of Blues Traveler.

	The ABC Blues Festival - Your Say
		I present a 4 hour Blues programme on Break O'Day FM Community Radio, giving air play to an outstanding number of Australian artists, as well as those from overseas and I thinks it's wonderful that you are profiling the genre in such a big way.
		The ABC is astute in recognising the renewed interest in both blues and blues influenced rock as many people rediscover the music they liked back in their younger days as well as younger people discovering the genre.
		Blues appears to have provided such a stable foundation for the majority of artists from the earliest days of rock and roll through to today that we keep coming back to its intoxicating rhythms time and time again.

	Blues Bytes What's New
		Blues is the main course on this disc, but elements of soul, funk, and even touches of ethnic rhythms are thrown into the mix.
		Granted, the conditions that generated the blues in the south have never been present here, and the climate is radically different too (although this winter is remarkably mild).
		In fact, it is when young blues bands cover material that is foreign to their living conditions that they fail miserably; by choosing appropriate upbeat material and generally avoiding the down-on-his-luck harder songs, this band has found what is often lacking with young blues artists: a real identity.

	A History of Rhythm'n'Blues
		Another Mississippi refugee, vocalist J.B. Lenoir, was the first to aim blues music at contemporary political events, for example in the scathing Korea Blues (1951) and Eisenhower Blues (1955), and to indulge in histrionic behavior on stage (basically the progenitor of both Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger).
		Appreciation of the original blues was limited to the intellectuals of the Greenwich Village (New York), the same crowd that had rediscovered folk music and that loved political songs.
		When blues music was accepted by the white masses (basically, with the advent of rock'n'roll), the influence was reciprocal: white popular music would never be the same again, but fl music too would never be the same again.

	Zac Harmon CD Review
		On "The Blues In You," Harmon and company generate a different feel to the music, toning down the guitar, brining out the keyboard and horns and smoothing out the sound.
		The next song on Live At Babe & Ricky's Inn, "Alberta," is an abrupt departure from the previous feel developed on the recording, leaving the blues and taking on more of a cajun/zydeco feel complete with rubboard and accordion.
		Blues On Stage is a ® Trademark of Ray Stiles.

		And there could be no better guide through the Foundation’s archive and museum-in-the-making than Willie Dixon’s daughter, Shirli Dixon-Nelson, the organization’s executive director and overseer of the day-to-day on-site operations.
		Having finished paying my respects to the old Chess Records building, I march back up the stairs, satisfied with the balance that Blues Heaven seems to have struck between instilling appreciation for the blues tradition and championing the cause of those who have been or hope not to be exploited by the music industry.

		Though Doc has recorded a couple of blues-specific albums before, Trouble in Mind is the first career retrospective to highlight this often overlooked foundation of his trademark sound.
		Though you can’t pigeonhole Doc as a stylist in any one given genre, Trouble in Mind makes the convincing case that Doc’s music is as informed by the blues as it is by any other form of music.
		Following in the hugely successful wake of Foundation: The Doc Watson Guitar Instrumental Collection, the second part of this career retrospective series, Trouble in Mind, is sure to appeal to blues fans as much as it does his core bluegrass and folk audience.
