A Delta Reincarnation

It is about time I attempt to put into words how I feel about some of the mentality I have stumbled across. Today, I introduce Shropshire born, Dan Owen, 22, the imaginary love-child of Leroy Carr and Robert Johnson. Pelting out, some serious blues notes and leaving you with the lingering sensation of marvelous melancholy. Take a listen to the immense ‘Blues Boy Dan’ for yourself. This kid is MAD talented! Joh- I can NOT wait to see him live! 

Perceptual Perfection

An incredible duo. This is dreams, forest, fresh air, love, soul. This is everything! Corinne West & Kelly Joe Phelps

Make a wish

I saw this guy a few months ago I can still not speak highly enough of this incredibly talented kid. He appeared on BBC Introducing stage at Glastonbury and I tried my best to whore his set off! He is one cool cat! Check him out and get your free download here!

A Communication Breakdown

Hmmmm...... Ever played these two and really listened?!

Blue Monday

Monday Blues anyone?!

Love That Lasts Forever

So, today I have attached three really amazing songs by three incredible artists. This may not be everyone's 'cup of tea' but for me I find this so groovy and so so inspirational especially when it was set and the historical context in which this music was born. Many have tried but only few have really 'had the blues' and hit that point when they turned it into such splendor. For interesting reads on this era try Mezz Mezzrow 'Really The Blues' I found this book incredible and it really places you in that time period when all this pandemonium was occurring. One of my all time favourites. And if any of you out there have any bands/ musicians I should know about please share. 

Buttery Blues

It's Wednesday. I like Wednesday's they are mutual days, half way from last weekend, half way to this one. They are like the climax. I've been around my Dad the past couple of days and my music selection has gone from discovery to discovering genuine classics. I love that feeling of finding a band or song that blows you away, leaves you speechless, and really has an over all physical and emotional effect on you. I have spend the last few hours listening to Robert Johnson. What a beautiful sound. My ears perk up my whole being changes form. It really is so tough to try explain exactly how some things make me feel. I guess every one here will know what I mean, when you feel intensity for something. 

Closing my eyes. Headphones on. Foot tapping. My mind wanders back to the dawn of the blues. Somewhere South, way South. I am on a voyage of discovery. All my apprehensions, heartaches and burdens melt away momentarily. I am somewhere in between delirious and infatuated. Blues is spiritual it takes you on a journey, it entrances you. It takes you to a place you want to be. It's like that first sip of a bitterly cold draught on a scorching summer day. It is like the cold flannel on your excruciatingly unbearing headache. The Blues is my painkiller. My Nurofen. Ahhhhh.....
