BLUES OUTLET videos are now on Meetnigerians.net. Apparently, if you need to meet a Nigerian,you'd better get hip to Blues Outlet vids.

Well, folks have asked for a bit more info, so here's a bit more: I started BLUES OUTLET back in the spring of 1966 (!). Yeah...yeah...........I know; it's been a minute since then.
Anyway, as I was saying, the initial idea was to take the Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Jimmy Reed stuff and take it all the way back to THEIR roots. And that's been my mission ever since.
The results can be heard on the I FEEL SO GOOD! CD and.particulartly on the forthcoming TRUE-TONE CD.
(Both albums were partly recorded at the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis...birthplace of rock 'n' roll and the place where Wolf, BB, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee, Carl Perkins, Rufus Thomas, Ike Turner et al. recorded their landmark tunes. A VERY heavy place !!!)
We've had the honour of doing shows with Muddy, Hubert Sumlin, John Mayall (dozens of times), James Cotton, Mighty Joe Young, Albert Collins, Mick Taylor, Robben Ford, Bobby "Blue" Bland....and lots more. So, all in all, it's been time well spent.
Lots more info as well as vintage pix etc.can be seen on the bandsite:BLUESOUTLET.COM. So...See you there, OK? OK!!

You have some great photos up here, and posters. I like the one with Bob Riichards behind yyou with a blank expression on his face.I am taking singinng lessons. I don't expect to be the next Muddy Waters, but I can try. It turns out that Chris Brown knows my sons guitar teacher in Cal. Don't be a stranger

We definitely gotta get you on Blindman's Blues Forum! A website I help promote. It's worth looking up, believe me. Just GOOGLE it. Over 500,000 posts! Please stop by. You'd make a fine addition to the forum.

Gets you right there, don't it.
Darren continues editing Blues Matters and the last I heard, Alan was recovering well. As for Euron, he had his BBC Wales show pulled a year or so back (with very little notice, I heard). I think he still plays with his band, The Soda Men.
This means that we are the ONLY dedicated Blues Show being regularly broadcast from Wales (as far as we know anyway)! Not just the best!!! We're just waiting for the BBC to approach us... seems to be taking them a long time...
