The Allman Bros. Band
Don’t Keep Me Wondering
Footage of the Allmans at the Fillmore
I have been on a huge Allman Brothers Band kick lately. A bit of a revival if I may say so.
This band has always been one of my favorites and when I go back to listen to them I am just BLOWN away. I dunno, greatest American band ever? Name a better one if you can.

This is Watermelon Slim – the only Oklahoma blues musician signed to a major label. He’s been driving a truck for 30 years, is a Vietnam vet, has three degrees.
All the rock and rollers out there that call themselves blues players take note… Oh…and he’s left handed – so, that’s a righty dobro he’s playing, upside down and backwards. Filmed in Canada for a soon to be released short film.

Live In Istanbul Turkey
With Bonus DVD “Extramarital Affair”
(Steppin’ Stone Records CCE 92009)
There is something keenly energetic about a ‘live’ album. And when bluesman John Lee Hooker, Jr. shouts “Istanbul, are you ready for the blues?” at the onset of his newly released CD, “Live in Istanbul, Turkey” you can feel the electricity in the stadium.
“Live in Istanbul, Turkey” showcases the son of the late iconic blues legend, John Lee Hooker, not only performing classics from his previously released albums, but also introducing three new songs as well. In addition, as the first blues artist to tap hip hop’s reach with animated music videos, the CD boasts yet another addition to this legacy.

• Worldwide Tour throughout 2010
• 2 X Grammy Nominee & Blues Award Winner
The bonus video “Extramarital Affairs,” co-conceived and co-produced by Frenchman Laurent Mercier at the Callicore Animation Studios in Paris, captures, in vivid black and white, the torrid escapades of a background musician’s illicit affair with a mistress that Hooker Jr. calls “tales of the road.” “Extramarital Affair” is the third in a series of blues animations from Hooker, Jr. and Mercier.
“Live in Istanbul, Turkey” was produced by John Lee Hooker Jr. and Frank ‘Tebo’ Thibeaux.
