Wow....not sure how to follow that intro.....just grateful to be with the Dancing One as we journey through some epic blues performers and songs to reach our goal.......to be fully engulfed in a great art form.

The Dancing One has fronted a great bluesman...oh my.

Wanted to just get put it out there that many great rock 'n roll bands had blues tunes in their repertoire....in this case...the Lizard King and his band....The Doors....."Roadhouse Blues."

We're going to some awesome places Dancing One....I am continually impressed.

Now for someone whose songs were made famous by bands for a generation of rock fans......his tunes were covered by so many bands.....Willie Dixon.

I reckon Willie Dixon deserves some further raps and tracks Dangerous One...but while you are pondering...

"Somebody write my mother...tell her the shape I'm in"

I get off on electric but sometimes an acoustic set tells the story better. This guy does just that...brilliant

"D" is for GUY DAVIS

"GOING DOWN SLOW"



One thing I like about the blues is artists love to share songs from the past...not called "covers" just "sharing the blues". Just like this old number

"SEE THAT MY GRAVE IS KEPT CLEAN"

Guy Davis has a fabulous gravely voice that really sends the lyrics home......

It's time for more Willie Dixon though....this time with Robbie Robertson.

"The Seventh Son"
