Greetings Blues fans! Another week goes in the books and summer is starting to slowly wind down. My colleague, Terry 'Gatorman' Lape, turned me on to a band called The Nouveaux Honkies. They played here in New York on Aug. 28th so I went to check them out and I have to tell you I was impressed with the band. Rebecca Dawkins on violin adds a nice flavor to the band. I did get some photos and will be posting them in the near future.
In the meantime give the band a listen.

This week I am submitting photos of Larry McCray. As some of you may already know Larry is no stranger to the blues scene. Among his influences are the three Kings; Freddie, Albert, and BB. Larry and his band played a great set at Terra Blues. I had heard of Larry before but this was my first time seeing the band and they delivered the goods. Tight, crisp playing by the band and I was especially impressed with drummer Steve McCray and his powerful playing. Go to Larry's MySpace page and check out some of his tunes.
Until the next go-round, keep supporting the Blues. These cats are working hard to lay it down for you.
