He's led the 'dream life'... jammin' blues in every bar in Minnesota and Wisconsin, then spending the night on the road, in an old beat up van, usually cold, and snowing. Steve started blowin harp in '68, playin on the lakeshore, in laundry rooms and culverts to find 'the sound.' One night he was jamming with some guys he just met in an old roadhouse down by Cedar Lake and the place was packed. At one point the hot, sweaty crowd just stopped dancing to watch, and he never looked back. He knew he'd finally found it. Dean Wolfson plays bass. He's been jammin' round the twin cities since the 70's. Dean also plays for folk June 16, 2009 rocker Geno LaFond.

  • Eric Clapton
    ERIC CLAPTON BIOGRAFIA Eric Patrick Clapton nasceu em 30/03/1945 em Ripley, Inglaterra. Ganhou a sua primeira guitarra aos 13 anos e se interessou pelo Blues americano de artistas como Robert Johnson e Muddy Waters. Apelidado de Slowhand, é considerado um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo. O reconhecimento de Clapton só começou quando entrou no “Yardbirds”, banda inglesa de grande influência que teve o mérito de reunir três dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos em sua formação: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck e Jimmy Page. Apesar do sucesso que o grupo fazia, Clapton não admitia abandonar o Blues e, em sua opinião, o Yardbirds estava seguindo uma direção muito pop. Sai do grupo em 1965, quando John Mayall o convida a juntar-se à sua banda, os “Blues Breakers”. Gravam o álbum “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton”, mas o relacionamento com Mayall não era dos melhores e Clapton deixa o grupo pouco tempo depois. Em 1966, forma os “Cream” com o baixista Jack Bruce e o baterista Ginger Baker. Com a gravação de 4 álbuns (“Fresh Cream”, “Disraeli Gears”, “Wheels Of Fire” e “Goodbye”) e muitos shows em terras norte americanas, os Cream atingiram enorme sucesso e Eric Clapton já era tido como um dos melhores guitarristas da história. A banda separa-se no fim de 1968 devido ao distanciamento entre os membros. Neste mesmo ano, Clapton a convite de seu amigo George Harisson, toca na faixa “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” do White Album dos Beatles. Forma os “Blind Faith” em 1969 com Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker e Rick Grech, que durou por pouco tempo, lançando apenas um album.

  • The Estate of Claud L. Johnson, Deceased
    IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI NO. 2018-CA-00260-COA THE ESTATE OF CLAUD L. JOHNSON, APPELLANT DECEASED: MICHAEL JOHNSON, EXECUTOR v. THE KITCHENS LAW FIRM, P.A. APPELLEE DATE OF JUDGMENT: 02/15/2018 TRIAL JUDGE: HON. WILLIAM R. BARNETT COURT FROM WHICH APPEALED: COPIAH COUNTY CHANCERY COURT ATTORNEYS FOR APPELLANT: ALAN M. PURDIE CHRISTOPHER H. CORKERN ATTORNEY FOR APPELLEE: ROBERT W. LAWRENCE NATURE OF THE CASE: CIVIL - CONTRACT DISPOSITION: AFFIRMED - 08/27/2019 MOTION FOR REHEARING FILED: MANDATE ISSUED: BEFORE BARNES, C.J., McDONALD AND C. WILSON, JJ. C. WILSON, J., FOR THE COURT: ¶1. Claud L. Johnson passed away on June 30, 2015. In a sense, however, the disputes in this case arise more because of Claud’s father, legendary blues singer Robert L. Johnson, who passed away on August 16, 1938. During Claud’s lifetime, and after years of litigation handled by his attorneys, the appellee here, Claud was adjudicated to be the now world- renowned bluesman’s son. After Claud’s death, his last will and testament was admitted to probate in the Chancery Court of Copiah County, Mississippi. On October 20, 2016, the Kitchens Law Firm P.A. filed a “Motion to Authorize and Direct Executor to Turn Over Monies and Render an Accounting and Order Turn Over of Future Monies” in the probate matter. Claud’s estate responded to the law firm’s motion and asserted affirmative defenses. Both parties filed motions for summary judgment. Special chancellor William Barnett granted Kitchens’s motion and denied the estate’s motion.

  • “Life Is Beautiful” with Keb'
    “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL” WITH KEB’ MO’ Est.

In this lesson you will: • Discover the Delta Blues and its connection to Rock and Roll • Learn about Keb’ Mo’ and his song “Life is Beautiful” • Apply the message of “Life is Beautiful” to your life through creativity and mindfulness Kevin Moore was born in Compton, CA in 1951. As a teenager he was nicknamed Keb’ Mo’. Keb’ Mo’ is an American Blues musician and five-time Grammy Award winner. Keb’ Mo’ has been described as a living link to the Delta Blues. The Delta Blues is a style of the Blues music genre. It developed in the Mississippi Delta region and has been played for over 100 years. Delta Blues was first recorded in the 1920s and has been acknowledged as being highly influential in the development of Rock and Roll. Watch this video to hear how the Delta Blues musician Robert Johnson’s song “I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom” evolved with the onset of Rock and Roll. Many styles of music, including the regional Delta Blues, derived from the Blues. One of the reasons it is called “Blues” is because many of the genre’s songs contain lyrics about feelings of frustration, loneliness, or sadness. But not all Blues songs are about sad topics. One of Keb’ Mo’s best known songs is “Life is Beautiful.” In April of 2020, Keb’ Mo’ performed this song of love and joyfulness from his home to provide comfort during the COVID-19 crisis.

  • Robert Johnson from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Robert Johnson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Background information Birth name Robert Leroy Johnson Born May 8, 1911 Hazlehurst, Mississippi Died August 16, 1938 (aged 27) Greenwood, Mississippi Genres Delta blues Occupation(s) Musician, songwriter Instruments Guitar, vocals, harmonica Years active 1929 – 1938 Notable instruments Gibson L-1 Robert Leroy Johnson (May 8, 1911 – August 16, 1938) was an American singer-songwriter and musician. His landmark recordings in 1936 and 1937, display a combination of singing, guitar skills, and songwriting talent that has influenced later generations of musicians. Johnson's shadowy, poorly documented life and death at age 27 have given rise to much legend, including the Faustian myth that he sold his soul at a crossroads to achieve success. As an itinerant performer who played mostly on street corners, in juke joints, and at Saturday night dances, Johnson had little commercial success or public recognition in his lifetime. It was only after the reissue of his recordings in 1961, on the LP King of the Delta Blues Singers that his work reached a wider audience. Johnson is now recognized as a master of the blues, particularly of the Mississippi Delta blues style. He is credited by many rock musicians as an important influence; Eric Clapton has called Johnson "the most important blues singer that ever lived." Johnson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an early Influence in their first induction ceremony in 1986. In 2010, David Fricke ranked Johnson fifth in Rolling Stone′s list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Life and career Early life Robert Johnson was born in Hazlehurst, Mississippi possibly on May 8, 1911, to Julia Major Dodds (born October 1874) and Noah Johnson (born December 1884).

  • Los Angeles Times
    Los Angeles Times Vivid portraits in William Stout’s ‘Legends of the Blues’ “Legends of the Blues” by William Stout (Abrams ComicArts) By DAVID L. ULIN MAY 1, 2013 6 AM PT LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK CRITIC In 1980, R. Crumb produced a set of 36 trading cards called “Heroes of the Blues.” It’s a great little set, backing Crumb’s drawings with short biographical sketches of performers such as Blind Blake, Charlie Patton, Big Bill Broonzy and Peetie Wheatstraw. If there’s any downside to the project, it’s that it doesn’t cover enough territory. Only 36 musicians? That barely scratches the surface of this most quintessential of American folk-art forms. As it turns out, this is the motivation for William Stout’s “Legends of the Blues,” coming May 7 from Abrams ComicArts, which picks up where Crumb left off. Featuring 100 musicians, the book has little overlap with “Heroes ...” -- save, as Stout says, “Skip James and Blind Willie Johnson, two bluesmen I just couldn’t bear to leave out” -- making the projects complementary in the most fundamental sense. In a preface, Stout traces the lineage: “The U.S. government declared 2003 as the official ‘Year of the Blues.’ As a result, Shout!
