Living Blues | Living Blues #295
Living Blues #295 (March/April 2025) features harp player Wallace Coleman on the cover. Coleman had a surprising first job in the blues. He was hired by Robert Lockwood Jr. because of his skills as an accompanist. That job lasted nearly 20 years until Lockwood’s death. Since then, Coleman has fronted his own band and, at the age of 89, continues to present his old school style of blues. Stoney B, son of Lil’ Howlin Wolf, has backed blues artists like Queen Sylvia, Booba Barnes, and Grandpa Elliott but for the past 20 years has fronted his own band in San Diego. Florida-based southern soul singer Jeff Floyd’s musical roots go back to the funky late 1970s, but it is his 1999 hit I Found Love (On a Lonely Highway) that fans still demand. This issue’s Let It Roll focusses on T-Bone Walker. One of the most important and influential artists to ever touch a guitar, Walker recorded just four songs for the Black & White label on September 13, 1947, but one of them will live on as long as people listen to music—Call It Stormy Monday but Tuesday Is Just as Bad. Plus blues historian David Evans expounds on LB #293’s Debunking Robert Johnson Mythology article.
All of this plus Breaking Out with Jovin Webb, LB Talks To John Primer, the latest in Blues News, and over 50 record, book, and film reviews.
