Got the Blues?

Not required!!

All here just for you!!

Pictured fom left  to right – Bettye LaVette, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa, Bonnie Raitt & Jon Cleary(obscured I’m sorry) and Eric Clapton & B.B.King all feature in the program today to support soon to be visiting guitar hero JOE BONAMASSA (check out the story on our home page).I found Joe by surfing through music sites and came upon his albums with Beth Hart – rootsy,bluesy,both original songs and covers and that lead me into his solo material which is prolific to say the least-lots of live albums with great bands and his studio work is is on the money for lovers of THE BLUES.As are the rest of todays included artistes-Derek Trucks  & Susan Tedeschi (Mr & Mrs Trucks),John Hiatt,Bill Medley,Freddie King and J.J.Cale.

I have chosen songs that cover a very broad spectrum of the blues to demonstrate that there is something for everyone in music and we should not be at all hesitant or “put off” by genres that perhaps we are not familiar with.I hope I have managed to enthuse Eastside  listeners into some edgier blues music than perhaps they may not have previously been game to try – I really hope you find your way into more of these featured artistes’ repertoires and go exploring beyond the 19 tracks featured.
