Some Well Known Blues Traveler
It’s been a day chock-full of John Popper so why not throw in an oldie but a goodie? I’m sure most everyone has heard Blues Traveler’s song, “Hook,” and the killer harmonica work contained within, but I’m going to post

Howlin’ Wolf
Since I posted a James Cotton video, I figured I’d follow it by one of the men he got his start with, Mr. Howlin’ Wolf. Howlin’ Wolf has to be one of the most physically impressive figures I’ve watched play

Juzzie Smith’s Harpbeat
I know I’ve posted Juzzie Smith before, but nothing says I can’t post him twice. And god knows he deserves another mention for this song I just found today! It’s called Harpbeat, a clever title he expounds on in an

Phil Wiggins Improvs the Blues
Today I had the great pleasure of discovering a blues virtuoso by the name of Phil Wiggins. Man, this guy really makes my toes tap! The way he slides around those blues licks and sets melodies free from his cupped
