A rollicking vocalist and gifted harmonica player, Syl Johnson has forged a career in both blues and soul. The brother of bassist Mac Thompson and guitarist/vocalist Jimmy Johnson, Syl Johnson sang and played with blues artists Magic Sam, Billy Boy Arnold, and Junior Wells in the '50s before recording with Jimmy Reed for Vee-Jay in 1959. He made his solo debut that same year with Federal. Johnson toured...

This year's addition of the first annual 'music conference' just made things that much cooler, and afforded us the opportunity to get 'up close and personal' with the people behind this great music that we all love. Where else could you...
The music just keeps getting better. The second day of the Ponderosa Stomp - New Orleans' annual tribute to the unsung heroes of American music - had plenty of good stuff on offer. Probably the top act was Ronnie Spector, still looking great, who ran through the Ronettes song book, with no guitar solos or other filling - just two and a half minutes of magic per song.
