Honestly, I don't know how he does it. The chord structures he uses baffles me. He is definitely a guitar savant. One of the best electric players in the world, in my opinion (if not THE best). Apparently, his brother shoved a guitar in his hands when he was 4 years old and he started jamming some Deep Purple. (Probably Smoke). Personally, I absolutely love the tone he gets. His rig is very basic, so I guess I'm hearing his soul coming through the amp, too. Like many of these guys, he succumbed to alcohol and drugs and went hard time the Pokey Way for a while and was forced to go back to playing small clubs ... that's after world tours with the best of the best. Same ol' sad story. The drink and hard dope always win ... at least for awhile. BTW, I'm very happy another Planeteer likes stuff like this. I have a long list of candidates for this thread I made ... but I don't want to overdo things ... so I'm restraining myself. Rock & Roll is only the blues with a back-beat, after all. FAX |

The late Candye Kane used to see her come round KC on the Blues circuit.

The great Little Hatch RIP. I could nearly walk to Nightmoves north of the river and catch great Blues artist. One of my all time favorites and great man. He would sit down and talk with you between sets just class act. Hart to believe he has been gone 16 years now. I miss Nightmoves it used to be at Vivion Rd and N Brighton where QT sits now.

The best blues clubs are "dumps".
That's how it's supposed to be ... and may it never change. FAX |

Now for something completely (almost) different. Song uses a modified 12-bar blues progression in a minor key and this isn't somebody's back porch ... I get that. But this made me a little weepy, so I'm sharing.

even though this was opening for Kenny Wayne Shepherd, we wrote these songs on the back porch, if that counts?

This is Wes Jeans, He is an incredibly good blues guitarist here in East Texas. "Forest of the Pine" is a tribute to "The Piney Woods" which is East Texas.
