A lot of blues "experts" have been saying that country blues singers have to be black, born in Mississippi and at least 50 years old. But then, they've never heard Jo -Ann Kelly.

Blues greats like Robert Johnson, Roosevelt Holts, Sunnyland Slim would be the first to say that blues doesn't know race, religion, sex or national origin. Blues just is. And Jo Ann Kelly is. She sings the blues. In her new album, Jo Ann Kelly. Jo -Ann Kelly

www.americanradiohistory.com Things You'd Better Know About Rod McKuen

In the last two years, he has sold more books than anybody. Now, his record career is catching up. Fast.

He records exclusively for Warner Bros. Records.

His newest album-Carnegie Hall Concert (1794)-is McKuen's fastest -selling album ever. It's outselling even his Greatest Hits album.

Frank Sinatra's new album, A Man Alone, was written in its entirety for him by Rod .McKuen. Mr. Sinatra doesn't do that for everybody.

Now, Rod McKuen is ready for the singles market: his new single, "Bring Her A Rose," sounds very probable. It is Warner Bros. -7346.
