Living Blues Magazine Living Blues #261 Edizione posteriore

Living Blues #261 (June/July 2019) features bluesman Lucky Peterson on the cover. Peterson is a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who recorded his first album 50 years ago. Still only in his mid-50s, Peterson is at the peak of his prowess in the blues world. Louisiana native Wayne “Blue” Burns spent most of his career as one of the preeminent bass players in the zydeco scene and did long stints with Clifton Chenier, Fernest Arceneaux, and C.J. Chenier. But these days Burns has stepped out front and is making his own music, this time playing guitar. As a teenager in Cincinnati, Ohio, Larry Griffith worked as a practice session drummer for the local King, Fraternity, QCA, and Jewel record labels. Moving to the Atlanta area in the 1990s, Griffith followed his musical path as a drummer, as well as a guitarist and songwriter. The Stone Gas Band was a legendary blues band in the Mississippi Delta in the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. After over 20 years apart, the group has reformed and has recorded their first CD as a tribute to founder Arthneice “Gas Man” Jones and musical teacher Johnnie Billington. This issues edition of Let It Roll features Alan Lomax’ September 3, 1941 recordings of Son House, Willie Brown, Fiddlin’ Joe Martin, and Leroy Williams at Lake Cormorant, Mississippi.
