Big Joe and the Dynaflows new album “You Can’t Keep A Big Man Down” is a jumping blues anthem with unique flavors of classic R&B, swing, wicked drumming, power guitar, and heavy horns!

Holy cow, Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) is one hardcore blues fan with amazingly insightful things to say about the blues and his many, often very early blues favorites.

In a region glutted with flamboyant musicians, James Booker’s reputation as both a genius and a flake reached legendary proportions. He performed with style and wild improvisational frenzy.

We’re back with the second of three parts of our interview with the piano slammin’ “Blues Diva” Eden Brent!

Lee Pons, A good friend of American Blues Scene, who we’ve interviewed last month, just came by and gave us (and all of you!) an early Christmas present! He sat down the other night and pounded out eleven traditional Christmas tracks on his piano, with a blues twist!

Hugh Laurie is best known for playing the character “House” from the hit TV show of the same name. Many don’t know, however, that Hugh is an avid fan of our favorite music, the blues.

Lee Pons is an up-jumped-the-devil rockin’, rollickin’ New Orleans blues piano player. His latest CD, Big Boogie Voodoo from Mind Balm Records is piano-filled bliss.

We managed to get a few minutes to sit down with Lee Pons, who’s album Big Boogie Voodoo we just recently reviewed. Lee is a character, and it was a blast to get some face time with the rising star in blues piano.

We love some New Orleans blues, and what better place to find a whole mess of it than the soundtrack to the show that is so deeply rooted in New Orleans, you’d need more than a bulldozer to get it out!
