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.

Chicago Beau, Il Viaggiatore Del Blues. Interview by Gianni Franchi
Chicago Beau, il viaggiatore del Blues. interview by Gianni Franchi. You've toured constantly around the world , which was the reason you never stopped? The popularity of Blues goes in cycles. There has always been a kind of base audience that are true Blues Lovers, and fans of highly visible Blues artists like Buddy Guy, BB King, Koko Taylor and others who have been around for years. And those performers have often experienced periods with less work. So, a Blues artist must keep busy, and play wherever in the world, whenever. Unfortunately, Blues is the least promoted music. So, as Sonny Boy Williamson said, ‘You got to catch it while it’s hot, if you let it cool, I won’t be worth a damn!’ And so, I’ll only stop when too old to perform. Which is the country where you found yourself most at ease and why? Each country has something different to offer. I have a great appreciation for warm climates. I think that is naturally in my DNA. I like Quebec, and Canada in general because of the diversity. I had great experiences in Iceland, recording, and live performances. As you know I lived in Italy for five years primarily because of the beauty of Italian people, their rich cultural heritage, and their appreciation of Black Music and culture. You know the expression, ‘different reason, different season.’ Seasons can be, metaphorically, a person’s age. Where you are in your life. Things are always changing. And from the musical point of view which one did you think was the best? Italy, Quebec, Senegal, Iceland, Kenya.

Big Walter Horton, Blues Harmonica Giant, Classic Sides 1951-1956 (3 CD) Di Bear Family, Uscito Nel 2010, Dopo La Stesura Di Questo Documento
WALTER HORTON, AN EASY MAN Discografia completa commentata di Sugarbluz Walter Horton nasce il 6 aprile 1918 in una fattoria vicino a Horn Lake, Mississippi, Contea DeSoto, ma nel suo primo anno d’età la famiglia, che include un fratello, Albert, e tre sorelle, Katy, Maggie e Bernice, si trasferisce nella vicina Memphis, Tennessee. Dapprima si dedica al pianoforte, ma poi il suo passatempo preferito diventa accompagnare, con l’armonica che un bel giorno suo padre porta a casa, i 78 giri di blues che girano sul grammofono di famiglia. Dopo due anni di pratica e scomparso da poco il padre Walter decide di contribuire al sostentamento familiare, così comincia a suonare per le strade di Memphis arrivando a guadagnare anche otto dollari al giorno, e in poco tempo tra i musicisti locali si comincia a parlare del piccolo Walter, ed è così che conosce Floyd Jones, Johnny Shines, Jimmy DeBerry. Ad appena nove anni registra con la nota Memphis Jug Band dell’armonicista e chitarrista Will Shade (detto Son Brimmer, probabilmente il suo primo maestro di tecnica insieme a Hammie Nixon, fedele partner di 'Sleepy' John Estes); il dato non è genericamente accettato vista la giovane età, ma l’autore Samuel Charters ritiene che sia vero. Il disco esce per Victor, una delle poche etichette discografiche che riesce a far fronte alla Grande Depressione. La compagnia di Chicago, specializzata nella produzione di grammofoni, diventa proprio in quegli anni una divisione della potente RCA (Radio Corporation of America). Durante la crisi economica abbassa drasticamente i costi di produzione e il prezzo di vendita del disco singolo da 75 a 35 centesimi, spostando nei primi anni 1930 il settore race records su una sussidiaria, Bluebird.
