To me he's always been this arrogant ass selling himself out. While I admit he has fantastic taste in cars, I still find him unacceptable.  However, I have never been able to eloquently manifest my thoughts in my head on paper but luckily now I don't have to as some hobbit has done it for me.

Hell- my favourite singer period. The tonal range, emotion and power of his voice never fails to inspire awe in me. No performance demonstrates better(in my humble opinion) how completely great a singer Otis Rush is then “My Love Will Never Die”.

He was 58 and the cause was lung cancer. I first saw Norton in 2006 at a show the Steve Miller Band was doing at Wolftrap. The band was great but the audience was full of women in their 40s drinking margaritas and pretending they were back in the 1970s and still sexually attractive.

Well basically it's an hour and seventeen of people complaining about how superficial music is today. They even go through all the motions of showing how easy it is to create a pop artist today, much like Miley Cyrus (ask your kids).

Hockey arenas yes-juke joints not so much. So when a frost bitten blues fan like yours truly wishes to see some live blues at a genuine juke joint –well he best pack a change of boxers, gas up the car and point it south.There is another option however.

He was 73.

He posted a rather awesome video of blues legend Albert Collins giving a little instruction on his trade mark "Ice Pickin'" style.

Here is a list posted by the Gibson company on their own blog that discusses ten great electric blues live albums.

The first name I thought of was T-Bone Walker so after a little video watching I found this crazy video from 66. Sure there is T-Bone but who's that guy with the bent trumpet? Yeah thats Dizzy Gillespie! Look for his solo and the trumpet mouthpiece.

Sure I may speak a little bit of French. (C'est tres difficile) but frankly I just don't get Europe though I love their beers, cars and beers. One place I'm very sure is in Europe is Denmark.

Other than the many problems I have with the idea of someone being the "face" the second thought that came to mind was, how can she be the face of the blues if she isn't these guys? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BluesForLife/~3/oxI78_hVKZ0/face-of-blues.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dan)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/BluesForLife?a=oxI78_hVKZ0:ZZjLIInc0Pk:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/BluesForLife?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BluesForLife/~4/oxI78_hVKZ0" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.bluesforlife.com/2009/09/face-of-blues.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801904583346674584.post-1831821808258807606Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:28:00 +00002009-09-21T21:31:03.711-04:00Okay so I’m writing this while listing to a cat called James Booker and drinking a brew. I was browsing a site that will remain unnamed because it’s kid of the restroom of the internet, the kind were everyone had the special and it didn’t agree with them. Let’s just say the place is full of shit. Anyways, I decided to check out the music section and I created a topic about how I liked the blues.http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BluesForLife/~3/xTO2eEfUK9A/resurrection-of-bayou-maharajah-james.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Dan)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/BluesForLife?a=xTO2eEfUK9A:1lWF_rrzuyY:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/BluesForLife?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BluesForLife/~4/xTO2eEfUK9A" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.bluesforlife.com/2009/09/resurrection-of-bayou-maharajah-james.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801904583346674584.post-991571779454411575Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:08:00 +00002009-09-18T13:16:52.626-04:00We take this time to remember a great man who did his best to be a great villain in a movie we all should know.
