Just got Burnside on Burnside CD. Burnside at his best, with grandson Cedric on the kit & Kenny Brown on slide. Some fine juke joint music.

Listening to T Model Ford's first album, "Pee Wee Get My Gun". I can't believe it, but it's even more raw and evocative than Bad Man.

Chris Truman replied to Leon and the Reckless Allstars's discussion 'Pedal Madness'
This thing is a Mesa, man, it's built like a tank and unreliability just isn't an issue. Like any pedal, it can sound crap, but when you get it dialled in just right it's sweet as honey.
I've got a couple of tube driven Electro…

STOLEN GEAR - MANCHESTER UK
I recieved this email today, listing the enormous amount of gear stolen from the band Noah And The Whale.
So, if you're UK based (maybe Europe too) spread the word, and if you have any info, Sam and Richard's contact details are at the bottom.

Hound Dog Taylor & The Houserockers
A few years back I came across an album by Hound Dog Taylor & The Houserockers. As soon as I started to listen to it I thought "this is what I've been looking for" if you know what I mean, it just got into my soul from the first note. I love the rough spontaneity of their music. I have several of their albums now and they're never far away from my CD player.
So I was wondering if anyone can come up with suggestions of any similar bluesmen.

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm a maintenance guy on a holiday center in the New Forest.
I've been playing guitar, on and off, for some 30 years or so. I play in a 50's, 60's, 70's cover band called The Dusty Nuts - it's more about getting together on a Monday night, playing and having a few beers than doing loads of gigs, but we do play a few.
I have an unhealthy love for guitars, amps and pedals.
Gigs I'll never forget :
Bo Diddley at the Jazz Cafe, Camden
The Enmores at the Railway Inn, Winchester (my son's first gig)
The Groundhogs at the Brook, Southampton
- Favorite Blues Artists and Bands
- Too many artists, too little time, but, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Freddie King, Hound Dog Taylor, T Model Ford, Seasick Steve, John Mayall and various Bluesbreakers line-ups, Tony McFee & The Groundhogs, Keith Richards, are all right up there.

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

I'm still with Stringy and I've joined another outfit called Sunset Dukes, all original material. I had 2 rehearsals with them and did a gig, talk about pressure, only made one major mistake the whole night, whew, and the audience didn't even notice, double whew!! Ok catch up soon mate.

- Thanks Chris, I'm so glad you like my music and Stringy and I have a lot of fun (on and off the stage) but he isn't into cricket (I don't hold that against him lol) I'll be getting home from a gig on Thursday night around 1sh so I'll miss the 1st bit of the cricket, bummer and I reckon your right about it going to be a close one. Will definately catch up soon.

We go out as The Groundhogs Rhythm Section with variouse
frontmen , current British favourite is Eddie Martin as he has
proved to have subtle touches of Tony in his performance
( if you check out my videos , the last one has the first gig of
that line up )
Where is your local gig , if we are in the area we will give
you a shout.
