The Yardbirds are still around. The current incarnation of the group includes original members Jim McCarty and Chris Dreja, who recently played a series of dates in Canada. On April 24, they will also be the first group to play the new Live Room at Twickenham Stadium in England.
Winners of a couple of top awards at the 30th Annual Blues Music Awards on May 7 will have the honor of receiving their trophies from the artist whose name is on the award. B.B. King will be on hand to hand out the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award while Pinetop Perkins will give out the Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year Award.
Performers for the 6-hour ceremony will include Bettye LaVette, Taj Mahal, Irma Thomas, Otis Taylor, Marcia Ball, Rory Block, Maria Muldaur and many more.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame week kicked off Saturday night in Cleveland with the Moondog Coronation Ball. The name refers back to the March 21, 1952 show put on by Allen Freed that ended up in a riot.
Appearing were Jerry Butler, Little Richard, Three Dog Night, Herman's Hermits Featuring Peter Noone and Tommy James and the Shondells. Reports say that Little Richard was brought on stage in a wheelchair but that his playing and singing were still spot on.
Tony Christie will follow veteran artists like Shirley Bassey and Neil Diamond onto the stage at Britain's Glastonbury Festival. Christie told the BBC, "I'm going to do some of the new album tracks and I've got to do my old stuff as well.
"I did the V Festival three years ago but I think Glastonbury is the big one, so it's a great honour."
Gene Simmons says that Kiss has four tunes in the can for their upcoming album. "If you're a fan of our stuff from about 1977, you'll feel right at home."
ASCAP has added Guy Clark, Allen Shamblin, Willie Nelson and Michael Martin Murphey to their Texas Heritage Songwriters' Association Honor Roll.
Yahoo! Music have picked their "Ones to Watch" for the year and it includes many up-and-comers like Ida Maria and Glasvegas, but right in the middle is 70-year-old J.J. Cale.
"...he's a brilliant performer in his own right: his relaxed, papery whisper of a voice captivating; his sparse guitar work endlessly evocative."
