Howdy TMB listeners -
Just in last week, Mitch Kashmir's "Wake Up & Worry". I gave it a listen and was impressed. There are many good reasons why he won 2005 Blues Music Award "Debut Artist of the Year".
Look for more than a few tracks from this gem in the coming shows. The CD has a release date of September 19th.
That's what we try to do here at WWPV...bring you the newest music first.
Cheers,
OneChord

My Latest Favorite CD : Albert Cumming's "Working Man"
Salutations TMB Fans -
I hope that the summer goes well for all of you out there. I have been absolutely delighted about the calls I have been receiving at the studio during my show. Thank You All!
It seems that 3-4 times a years I gush over a particular track, CD or artist. Kirk Fletcher, Janiva Magness. Well, right now, I am gushing over Albert Cummings'"Working Man". Some people have categorized it as "Blues Rock"...perhaps, it is still great solid electric Blues accessible to a wide audience. You can hear and feel the heart and soul Cummings puts into each track. Now, I am not prone to gush to make it a habit or to maintain a tradition. I do like this CD. I have received a few calls regarding the tracks I have aired. So...I will definitely be playing some more.
Hey Albert...Well Done!
Cheers,
OneChord

Summer is almost Over...but...the New Music keeps coming!
Hello again TMB Fans -
Wow....definitely the summer Blues, hot weather, hectic schedules and vacations, all of these things tend to get in the way regulary updating this blog. It is not much of an excuse but it will endeavor to be more diligent in the future.
Perhaps, I was jolted from my creative doldrums by a listener's call into the show this evening. Dorothy from Shelburne, Vermont happened across 88.7 FM on her car radio during my show and enjoyed what she heard. Interestingly, I tend to get more calls during the acoustical blues segment of my show than any other. Dorothy called to get some clarification on the Cephas & Wiggins tracks I had played from their lastest effort, "Shoulder to Shoulder". Dorothy mentioned that she was going down to her favorite music store to purchase "Shoulder to Shoulder". I could not be happier because that is what I hope "Those Monday Blues" can do for the Blues music world. I am not quite the expert but I try to do my best to have good relationships with prominent Blues labels so TMB listeners have an opportunity to hear new music from contemporary and local Blues artists as well as the classics we all know and love.
Let's us all do our part to support Blues music. Buy a CD, attend a show, send a letter to your favorite artist or listen to a Blues radio program. Through these efforts, the Blues and other non-mainstream music will stay healthy and vibrant.
Speaking of Cephas & Wiggins' "Shoulder to Shoulder", it is a great CD. I enjoy each and every track. Many of my family members came into my "studio" as I reviewing the CD to ask what I was listening to. High praise indeed. The wonderful vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica are complemented but not overshadowed by bass and piano on several tracks. It is one of those CD that I just set on repeat and let play.
There was a lot of new music played tonight. I couldn't be happier. New and recent releases from Jeremy Spencer, Albert Cumming, Bill Perry, Cephas & Wiggins, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials, Guitar Shorty, Eddie Turner, Sue Foley, Janiva Magness, Eric Lindell, Lynwood Slim and Walter Trout. I just have to say again that the recent releases from the various labels have been a delight. I can't wait to share more tracks from these recent releases in the coming weeks.
I have to run. Thank you for all for your support. "Those Midnight Blues" will continue in the Monday, 5p-9p, time slot for the entire month of August. If there is a schedule change, you will all be the first to know.
Cheers,
John "OneChord" Connors
