Never Trust A Big Butt And A Smile


- The Tarbox Ramblers play a rollicking roll and rhythm of juking music that some have described as alt-blues. These cats have and are playing all over and chances are coming to your town tommorrow they'll be in Buffalo and be sprinting over to Union Hall in Brooklyn on April 2oth.

- Well. Since we're on the topic of Buffalo NY, it should be broadcast that they have quite a scene and a dandy review site/zine called Buffalo Roots, you should have a gander when you have a chance.

- Gosh. Some kids will do anything for attention including devoting their lives to the blues. Ugh. The kids these days and their Howlin' Wolf records!

- David Honeyboy Edwards is one of the last surviving practioners and links to Robert Johnson; but the man is more than that, he's an amazing musician without such labels. He's due.

- Many have called Mississippi, the birth place of American Music; some big names will be on hand to celebrate just that. [Including the Killer Jerry Lee Lewis!]

- Friend, gentleman and bluegrass fiddle virtuoso, Thomas Bailey will be bustin' loose tonight along with the Forge Mountain Diggers at Superfine in Brooklyn tonight as well as burning things up at the New York City Barn Dance [a worthwhile event if i've ever seen one] on Thursday April 12th.

Rebecca Winters takes amazing photos. Case in point: O'Death and This Guy.

We're having Honeyboy here in the Dallas area on Tuesday, May 8th, 2007. He is going to be performing for several hundred kids an then we are going to do an evening show! It's going to be such a great experience!
