Re: Other "Blues" artists that you may enjoy

Jimi, Stevie Ray and Rory laid down some killer tracks when they were still walking this world. Worthwhile to have some of their CDs in your collection.

Don't forget Davy Knowles. From what he posted on Facebook today, he just finished recording for Back Door Slam's newest release, probably be available later this spring or in summer.  Their first CD (self titled) is really good.

Major Tom to ground control...

Hi Mike, I have not seen Parker live (he rarely tours this north).  Ian's strength's lie in his emotional expression, his solos and his vocals, rather than either rocking guitar or downhome blues.  Let us know your opinion.

You can hear soundclips from his new album The Official Bootleg here:

which features Ian’s  interpretation of Little Wing:
