I first heard Edwin McCain around 1995, when he was opening for the Allman Brothers. I enjoyed his set enough to pick up his first Atlantic record, Honor Among Thieves. It fit in better with my listening habits then than it did later, and I’d kind of forgotten about him. Still, I was curious when [...]

Rick Harvey was an acquaintance of mine and a great guitar player for Bobby Blue Bland, Little Milton, and many others, highly respected by his fellow musicians, black and white, and the possessor of a fine, gentle, and kind personality. Here's a picture of Rick Harvey with Stevie Ray Vaughan: Sadly, we lost Rick a few years back, but this video surfaced last month to bring back great memories

This two part playlist was first posted last year, but was later taken down. Somehow I was able to locate the audio files. The playlist features artists born in St. Louis, who grew up in St. Louis, spent their formative musical years in St. Louis, or who got their start in the city. St. Louis once had a vibrant Soul & Blues scene, particularly in the 1950's, 60's and 70's. The St. Louis area also has...

Quite possibly the greatest all-round talent in contemporary blues, Milton C. "Little Milton" Campbell sang with splendor and delivered crackling, assertive fills and solos on what is arguably his finest release. "That's What Love Will Do" has a great funk backbeat, ideal mix of humor and resignation and a super guitar interlude. Both the title cut and "Walking the Back Streets & Crying" showcase Milton's...
