Jimmie Vaughan Rocks Out In London “Under The Bridge”
Saw Jimmie and his band on a plane from Toronto heading to London last Sunday – couldn’t believed when I was boarding the plane, looked up and there was Jimmy Vaughan and his terrific band. Unfortunately, I had to return to Canada prior to this gig in London at “Under The Bridge”. You can still […]
Grammy Museum Exhibit – Stevie Ray Vaughan
The first of its kind brings back bitter-sweet memories for us fans and no doubt for Stevie Ray Vaughan’s loved ones. Just listen to Jimmy’s words…”I want to thanks Bob for coming in and talking to me about this (the idea of the exhibit), you know I have all of Stevie’s stuff and I don’t […]
Are You Sure You Want To Be A Music Star?
Funny post by Joe Bonamassa on Twitter today showing the crazy life a rock star (or in this case, guitar GOD) must live…reinforces the notion that you better as hell love what you do… Clay and Eric did a little number crunching this morning for our entire tour from March through the end of this […]
Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble Interview 1989
As we approach 24-years since the great blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan left this earth (have to think he’s up there jammin with Hendrix, Albert King, Hubert Sumlin, and Albert Collins), I still enjoy seeing material released today, especially material post-rehab where we see the true spirit, mind and soul of SRV unhindered by drugs […]
Buddy Guy Interview – Blues Icon Tells It Like It Is

Watch this incredibly sincere by this legend of the Blues: This entire interview is GOLD for blues […]
Cool Blues Gear – Gibson SG and Vibro King
Gary Clark Jr. posted this to his Instagram account – pretty sweet setup, have you guys ever tried a Fender Vibro King?
Jack White – Lazaretto Brilliance
Jack White is perhaps the most unique and vibrantly creative artist active today…it just so happens his roots are in the Blues no matter how far his creative puruits take him. That’s the way it should be, start with internalizing the foundation of music (the Blues) and build out from there. Same formula as Jimi […]
What Does Blues Music Mean To You?
I count myself among the small group of people who can’t help but feel blues music spiritually. I don’t mean people who take their interest in blues as far as the Rolling Stones or the Black Keys – I am talking about those of us who may have been exposed initially through a mainstream rock […]
Jimmie Vaughan With Susan Tedeschi and Double Trouble
What more could you want than the spot-on blues guitar playing of Jimmie Vaughan with the Joplin-like vocals of Susan Tedeschi belting a BB King tune (Let the good times roll) backed by the #1 blues backup band in the world – Double Trouble (Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton of Double Trouble – Stevie Ray […]
Joe Bonamassa Recording “Stop”
I really like these “behind the scenes” views into the recording process musicians use on their songs. This video shares such a view (albeit still officially produced) into the recording studio during a recording of the song “Stop” from Joe Bonamassa’s 2010 CD “John Henry”. Notice a few things: How several overdubs of vocals and […]
