    Blues Underground Network (Featuring David Gogo "Christmas

    Blues Underground Network David Gogo "Christmas With The Blues" (Canada) I will be the first to admit that I really like the good old fashioned Christmas songs, White Christmas, Twelve Days Of Christmas, Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, and countless others, sung by the greats Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Gene Autry, Perry Como, and Jose Feliciano, to name just a few. I also really like the modern day artists that have stepped forward, putting a little polish on the old standards or offering up their own originals, such as David Gogo's absolutely amazing new release, "Christmas With The Blues", which offers up 9 blues inspired Tracks of both standards and originals. Now David Gogo would certainly not have been my first thought as someone whom would of put out a Christmas Album, in fact he never thought he would either, never the less, he has and boy it quickly has become a favorite around here this Christmas Season and will for many more to come. Using his superb Vocals and amazing stinging Guitar work, David Gogo slices through 9 Tracks as effortlessly as a hot knife slicing through butter, but it isn't just Gogo that brings the magic to this little gem, it is also the stellar lineup of artists he brought along with him on this journey, which included greats Bill Hicks (Drums), Marisha Devoin (Acoustic Stand-Up Bass), David Vest (Piano), Phil Dwyer (Saxophones and Piano on Track 5), Jay Stevens (Bass on Track 9), Tina Jones & Camille Miller (Vocals Track 9), and Shawn Hall (Harmonica).

    .After over 40 years playing blues in bars, these guys got it down. Dues have been paid and paid again. The Chippewa Valley Blues Society presents Harvey Fields started playing drums as a boy at the Checkerboard Lounge in Chicago with his mentors, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters.

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. The Blues Dogs band has been helping him discover Wisconsin, so be sure to welcome him. Kenny Danielson, from LacDuFlambeau, native American blues guitarist, singer and "long time blues enthusiast" rounds out the quartet for the evening.
