Living Blues Magazine Living Blues #235 Zurück Ausgabe

Living Blues #235 (February/March 2015) features Mississippi-based blues Renaissance man Vasti Jackson on the cover. The multi-talented Jackson is one of the busiest artists in the deep south. W.C. Clark is known as the Godfather of Austin Blues and mentored a string of young players in the 1970s including the young Stevie Ray Vaughan. Mickey Rogers life harkens back to the hardscrabble life of the Mississippi Delta and the mean streets of Chicago in the 1950s. His story as a sideman is one of perseverance. Smokey Holeman is the lead singer for the popular Milwaukee-based band Tweed Funk who, after decades of working a day job, is finally back out front. This issue also includes the LB Radio Chart’s top 50 albums of 2014, Blues News, reviews on new releases by Swamp Dogg and Magic Slim, and reissues from Junior Wells and Paul Butterfield and many more.
