I guess this just counts as I downloaded it on 30th January - "White Sugar" by Joanne Shaw Taylor.
Its available on CD from 23rd February.

Thanks Martin - trouble is I'm already down to see Aynsley Lister on Friday.
See she's back to her roots at the Roadhouse on 28th too, but I have a gig with my band that night - can't get to that one either.

Re: Album of the month

A friend gave me a number of his older CDs and I've been enjoying one in particular by The Eric Steckel Band called "Havana". Quite a young talent in the making.

The Traveling Wilburys Collection got the most mileage in Jan. I picked it up with a gift card my daughter gave me for Xmas. Besides the original tunes off the two albums they recorded there are four bonus tracks and a DVD. One of those collaborations that comes along once in a blue moon.

Re: Album of the month

Hi Roy,

I saw Eric at a small club called Havana in New Hope, Pennsylvania several years ago, before he moved to Florida. His voice hadn't even totally developed yet and he was there with his parents. He was still in middle school at the time and this was before he toured with John Mayall; he was very impressive on guitar and has the utmost respect for all the "Kings".  What a very talented & nice young man...nice parents too!

jdawg-I didn't realize I'm missing the Wilburys DVD, I need to get that, I had a hard time getting both CD's...had to pay import pricing. I can't recall what the distribution problem was, but something was in litigation with the rights.

I just got 3 new CD's...Trucks, B.B. and Moore.

Hey Angela,

Well, I guess then that was you cheering on this CD, right? wink The reason the CD is called "Havana", is it was recorded live at the Havana Nightclub December 17, 2005 in New Hope, PA. Come on you're just pulling my leg, you knew that, right? smile Anyway, if you didn't then it sure is a small world. I got a number of CDs from my friend Ken and he always said that if this young man ever comes to Wisconsin we must see him. I guess from the sound of the CD, he's right!

One question, how does such a young man at that time write such great songs as "Radio Blues" and "Philips Highway"? Wonderful stuff!

Re: Album of the month

Hi Roy,

I only have one of Eric's CD's that I bought that night.  I figured the one you mentioned was recorded in New Hope and I know Eric was back there after we saw him and came back from Florida for a visit.  I can't remember the exact date of when we saw Eric, but I'll dig out the CD and see if its dated and 2005 makes sense since I know it was shortly after we had seen Joe for the first time in 2004.  Eric had been featured on a excerpt of a news program and his jaw dropping guitar playing is what made us want to see him.  I recorded it on VHS and passed it around, if I still have it, I can mail it to you. Also, we are a little sentimental about Havana, we had our 3rd date there back in 1983 after meeting on a blind date at an Al Jarreau concert.  I got it bad, real bad for my now hubby on that date at Havana, good thing the feeling was mutual big_smile, actually I was falling hard by our second date at a jazz club...and I finally was getting some relief from my then broken heart.  I made a very good rebound,  we will be married 24 years in March tongue, coincidentally on Eric Clapton's birthday.

Back to Eric Steckel's performance that night, I was thinking of Joe as a youngster traveling around with the support of his mom and dad, like Eric.  Thanks for posting this, I'll have to get this CD and see if I recognize my yelps.  We met up with a group of friends/cousins etc. that live in New Hope and brought our kids, it was as a very fun evening!

Re: Album of the month

Angela,

What a wonderful story!! smile I then definitely suggest you get this CD since it was at the time of your special moment with your furture husband. Gosh, meeting someone through music and realizing that's "the one", how great is that!!

It just amazes me at the talent of the young people now. I'm taking guitar lessonas and trust me, they make it look a heck of a lot easier than it really is. I guess my old hands and worm out brain just can't keep up with these young geniuses. hmm

Re: Album of the month

My album of the month  for March would be Matt Schofield's Heads Tails and Aces, blues with rock and funky jazz rhythms.

Have a listen to him here:

Matt Schofield sounds really interesting - Duncan, I suggest we call you the "Official Joe Bonamassa Message Board Commissioner For Finding New Great Artits" from now on... o.k., it´s a bit long. I just keep on calling you Duncan, o.k.?! wink

Yes Ian does deserve credit for that one! His post on Joanne was the first and well timed. smile I'd heard of her since October last year when it was mentioned that Oli would be touring with her, but it's thanks to Icon's post that I really picked up on her music.

Matt is a very technically accomplished guitarist who has released three studio albums and two live releases. His biggest influences would be Robben Ford and Albert Collins. He has also performed for Ian Siegal too who is a bluesman in the Howlin Wolf/Muddy Waters mold, both are highly recommended. smile
