Bonnie Raitt was born November 8, 1949. She is blues singer-songwriter who was born in Burbank, California. As I have said many times, the type of music that I want to hear at any given time is a function of my mood. Sometimes I get in the mood to hear a female sing the blues. And when that happens one of my favorite female bluse musicians is Bonnie Rait. She has the ability to communicate ...

I would not normally refer to a band that plays blues music as cute. But if you watch the videos below, I am sure you will agree that "The Sledge Grits Band" are some of the cutest little musicians around.They were featured on CBS' "The Early Show" Singing Family Face Off. These sisters from Salinas, Calif. performed Aretha Franklin's classic Reach Out And Touch Somebody's Hand. I think it will...

Trouble of the World - Mahalia JacksonThe above clip is from the 1959 version of the award winning movie "Imitation of Life" it is one of those movies that is such a big part of the black culture of my youth. If you want to see some people living the blues, watch that movie.Again I think that this song captures the mood of gospel blues so well. And while it has a sad theme it soars in such a wa...

I'm always saying, "there is so much music and so little time." Consider the White Stripes for example. I have been planing on writing about them forever. But I could not really put them in the proper context for my humble little blues blog here. Well, some times my lackadaisical attitude gets overtaken by events.Recently the White Strips played a unique version of We Are Going To Be Friends fo...

I love boogie-woogie because it is kind of a happier part of the blues. All the energy and dynamics that the blues can bring are found in Silvan Zingg's music. He has a mastery of the boogie-woogie beat that is very smooth and refined, and he also holds on to that emotionally compelling part of good blues music. When I watch the dance video clip below I can't keep my feet from moving. And the...
