Hello all – Steve Hunter here, I’m the BestDamnBlues.com guy. The other day I got an email from Joshua Slamp, that is what appears just below. You need to check this out…it is EXCELLENT!

Dear Steve,

My name is Joshua Slamp; I am a Portland, Oregon Blue guitarist. I’ve recently put out a CD that I think you might find to your liking.

I’ve visited your site “BestDamnBlues.com” and think you will appreciate my latest CD, “Slide Into Christmas”; a collection of holiday classics adapted entirely on acoustic slide guitar, think a “Robert Johnson Christmas”.

I thought it would be fun to put a new spin on songs we all hold dear to our hearts with a Delta Blues twist.

You can stream samples of the songs on at my website http://www.joshuaslamp.com

I’d love to send you a copy of the disc as well. Just let me know.

Please feel free to contact me by phone or email. Thank you so much for your time.

Happy Holidays,
Joshua Slamp

Brother Can You Spare a Dime – Dr. John & Odetta

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:58:54 +0000

This oldie was originally written during the depression (1931) by Yip Harburg, who was later blacklisted during the McCathy era.

Dr. John and Odetta don’t actually appear in this video, but the music is excellent…music that touches you.

I not overly fond of some of the visuals used in the video. To me Blues is about overcoming, not about defeat. Show me someone that’s willing to stand up after being knocked down. Leave the bullshit politics out of it.

We’re all in this together.

Here’s the incredible Watermelon Slim & The Workers playing up close and personal at the 2008 Heritage Blues Festival in Wheeling, WV.

I was so close that I was in front of the speakers carrying Bill’s voice. Sorry about that! But this is one helluva performance! He gives it everything’s he’s got!
