Tony Stevens & Slow Ride -- Fool For The City

Some Sunday afternoon boogie with one of Jb's all-time favorite bass players (still standing tall), like Foghat, this band kicks ass...

Billy Iuso & Company -- I See You

Sax New Orleans Style, please and thank you...

Band Of Heathens -- Hallelujah

A little Sunday morning gospel (live for the visual, studio for the audio), can I get an Amen?

Tryin' to get a message to you...

Anders Osborne & Company -- Sugaree

Another one for SC Ray's consideration, this one for jam purposes, the lead guitar work on this one is by New Orleans' own Anders Osborne, I've always loved his "deceptive" sound and enjoy the reaction of friends hearing him for the first time, he kicks it hard live, just ask DeucE. George Porter, Jr., of Meters fame on the bass no less. Hope you dig it...

Crosby, Stills & Nash -- Wooden Ships

One for DeucE, might he dig this one given his Cali roots, harmonies and all, he just might...

Stevie Ray Vaughan -- Come On

SC Ray knows Stevie Ray but what we have here in this performance is SRV nailing a tune by one of his favorite "blues man" - New Orleans' own Earl King. Like only SRV could. Got to see the two of them jam together years ago at the NOLA Jazz & Heritage Festival, it was an Americana blues history lesson, as good as it gets...

Me And My Guitar -- Tab Benoit

SC Ray is working on his sound, this one is just in case he wants some Louisiana hot sauce to go with his Robert Cray. BTW, Tab plays vintage Telecasters from the early, early days. I remember waiting for this young Cajun gunslinger to stop in at the Rock n' Bowl in New Orleans when he was all of 20, 21 years of age back in the early to mid 1990s. It was open blues on Thursday nights and I'd try to get there early enough to grab a seat on the indoor stoop to the side of the stage, brings back some good memories. And, oh man, no doubt I am going to enjoy this particular exchange of favorite guitarists even if i am just a drummer...

Steve Gaines -- Take My Time

I remember thinking - man, don't know who that is but that cat on guitar is nailing it. Seems like just yesterday...

An incredible slice of music history...

L'Angelus -- Give A Little Bit
