Bowling Green, Ohio, that’s where I was born on June 5, 1971. Bowling Green is an hour south of Detroit. My father was born in Tokyo, Japan and my mother was born near Pyongyang, Korea. They met in Seoul in the mid-60s and then my father did a PhD at Harvard to study ancient Korean history. He became a professor at Bowling Green State University and that’s why I was born there. When I was sixteen in Ohio, I started listening to blues music on NPR’s radio show, “Blues before Sunrise,” hosted by Steve Cushing in Chicago. Then, when I became an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago, a great blues harmonica player in Chicago named David Waldman took me under his wing, so to speak, and introduced me to great classic blues records and legendary Sugar Brown (aka Ken Kawashima) will be joined by Montreal harpmeister Bharath Rajakumar for gigs at blues musicians in Chicago. He introduced Dominion on Queen (July 6 and Aug 31) and Axis Bar and Grill on July 27. He plays The Local on July 9 with Mr. me to the music of Little Walter and everything Rick. And the gig of a lifetime will be joining blues legends Junior Watson and Fred Kaplan (as well as Bharath) changed. I practiced harmonica every day for a gig at The Paddock Tavern on July 13 and bought used records every week. I couldn’t get enough. I started learning basic Chicago in small bars and clubs like the 5101 common ground between us; it forms a core blues guitar in the style of Jimmy Rogers. I Club and the Delta Fish Market, formed the understanding of what we believe must be was long gone into the blues at that point. core of my musical life down to the present done to execute this blues live, today, both While many of my close music-loving friends day. I’m forty-two years old and pretty on stage and in the studio. He’s done amazing from university listened to contemporary much the only music I’ve played since I was work with a great band (Bharath and his bands like Fugazi, the Pogues, Dinosaur Jr., nineteen years old is the blues that I learned Rhythm Four) over the past fifteen years in and Sonic Youth, my favorite records were by in Chicago. Maybe some day I’ll play music Montreal, and I feel lucky to play with them Little Walter, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, that isn’t blues, but I’ve realized—especially all—Ben, Costa, and Colin.

  • Jimmy D. Lane
    Jimmy D. Lane Biography "Son of the Blues" At the age of 47, Jimmy D. Lane has already led quite a full life. The musicians he knows makes for an impressive resume. He has worked with Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Jim Keltner, Keith Richards, B.B. King, Van Morrison, Jonny Lang, Gary Moore, Double Trouble, Taj Mahal, Stephen Stilles, Jeff Healy, Jimmie Lee Robinson, Lowell Fulson, and Snooky Pryor, Kim Wilson, Pinetop Perkins, Johnny ‘Big Moose’ Walker, Johnnie Johnson, Kim Wilson, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Harry Hypolite, George ‘Wild Child’ Butler, David ‘HoneyBoy’ Edwards, Weepin’ Willie Robinson, Little Hatch, Nancy Bryan, Willie Kent, Henry Gray, Lazy Lester and Eomot RaSun. He has also worked with venerable blues greats such as Sam Lay, Hubert Sumlin, Carey Bell, Dave Meyers and his father, the legendary Jimmy Rogers. Born July 4th, 1965 in Chicago, he grew up in a household where he became acquainted with a veritable who's who of Chicago bluesmen. Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Mabon, Little Walter and Albert King, to name a few, would all stop by the house to visit the "old man." Coming from this environment has instilled in Lane the deepest respect for elder statesmen of the blues. "I feel blessed and fortunate, to have known all those cats, and I do not take it for granted." At the age of eight, he began playing his dad's guitar, which he wasn't supposed to do. "I would break a string and put it back in the case like he wasn't going to discover it," Lane recalls.

Most everything contained will be multiple CD sets, DVDs, CD/DVD sets, books and the like. Of course, you can always look though our back issues to see what came out in 2017 (and prior years), but none of us would want to attempt to decide which CDs would be a fitting ad- dition to this guide. As with 2016, the year 2017 was a bit on the lean side as far as reviews go of box sets, books and DVDs - it appears tht the days of mass quantities of boxed sets are over - but we do have some to check out. These are in no particular order in terms of importance or release dates.
