I love this new CD and the track "Just Another Rider." Gregg's voice is in perfect gravely form and contributes deep soul to each track. What I find so encouraging is that so many artists are returning to the blues roots with recent releases like Steve Miller's Bingo and Tom Petty's Mojo.

The Joker is no joke when it comes to the Blues. His new album, Bingo, is just an awesome collection of grindin', drivin' compelling blues.

I first discovered Harper several years ago on a sampler CD from Blues Review magazine (how quaint that form of discovery will seem in a couple years with MOG now online). It was a cut from his Way Down Deep Inside CD. I also saw him perform a couple times at the great Hermosa Beach, CA juke joint, Cafe Boogaloo and I was immediately hooked. Harper's fusion of the harmonica and didgeridoo into
