Songwriter/Producer offering up my own blend of roots, blues, soul, C&W &folk with a retro twist. New songs come out frequently so at least my brain is working.
Today's #SongOfTheDay goes out to Piers Morgan. "You Talk Too Much" by @OfficialRunDMC, the second hip hop artists to be (so deservedly) inducted into @rockhall. https://t.co/QoIGhg7dt3
It's Monday, folks. The sun is shining in this part of the world and it's time to bring some positive energy into the universe. Le Vicomte by Soel is today's #SongOfTheDay https://t.co/AK7xdnO7wP
Walter Lewis, born on this day in 1893, was a blues pioneer and an originator of the bottleneck slide guitar style. Today's #SongOfTheDay is "Furry Sings The Blues" by @jonimitchell https://t.co/7QxqxWDF5o
Today is the date of birth of the legendary #Blues singer/songwriter and flatpicking guitarist Doc Watson. He was a living encyclopedia of traditional American music, raising awareness of traditional songs his whole life. https://t.co/joIIOqoVbs #SongOfTheDay Deep River Blues
Most of you may not know Grammy-winning @TheLarryCarlton, but you've certainly heard him. His guitar work is featured on more than 100 gold records including some signature work on this classic Steely Dan tune "Kid Charlemagne". https://t.co/LFokAz8Fjf
Happy Birthday Larry!

Thank you
Sam Cooke blended soul and gospel and created this gem of a tune. Then throw in some deep background vocal from jazz-R&B singer Lou Rawls and it becomes a double-shot of vintage soul. https://t.co/ty45E2Dtq6 #SongOfTheDay
Staying with the #Blues again for today's #SongOfTheDay. I had never heard of Junior Kimbrough until 20 years ago in NYC when I came upon a CD in a music store and purchased it unheard. His voice and tone was mesmerizing and hypnotic. https://t.co/gRhmyIAyIN
Going way back for today's #SongOfTheDay. The pioneer blues artist Memphis Minnie is often overlooked in the history of blues, but she could pick a guitar and sing as good as anyone and wrote around 200 songs including Hoodoo Lady Blues. https://t.co/tMdq4cDITJ
Did you know that true love asks for nothing? It's hard to narrow down my favourite @StevieWonder tune, but this one definitely ranks near the top. https://t.co/f5PegyH7h3 #SongOfTheDay Enjoy the groove and please keep warm/stay safe
Here's a funky cover penned by the legendary @mickeynewbury as soulfully sung by the late and perennially great @sharonjones along with the @The_DapKings. https://t.co/QgLymip69y I dare you to stand still during this tune. #SongOfTheDay
Today's song of the day is this powerful one about the great abolitionist leader, John Brown. "Give the power to the people!" https://t.co/ZnXGzf39NO @marcribotmusic @FreeSongSinger #SongOfTheDay
