Posted on November, 2nd 2009 by Frank Matheis in Artist Reviews | Comments (0)

We recently uploaded new reviews. Contributing writer Len Poche wrote a profile of Steve James, and we also featured Mississippi-to-New York transplant Lowry Hamner. Plus, we added PHOTOS of John Kay (formerly of Steppenwolf, who had always been an acoustic blues musician); Murali Coryell-son of jazz great Larry Coryell, and a wonderful blues musician on his own right; Lowry Hamner; Beale Street, Memphis, street musicians Ben Prestage and Richard Johnston, and a photo of the late folk-blues multi-instrumentalist Mindy Jostyn. Also, slide virtuoso Ed Gerhard and N’Awlins pianist Dr. John.
Coming soon: Profile of slide great Roy Rogers.
