I started this thread for all blues freaks hiding out here at PUG. It also felt a little disrespectful to Bill Sumlin where we were having an ongoing blues conversation (I'm sure he doesn't mind, but it just felt creepy lol).

If the mods want to they can move some of those posts here…or not.

No, are they getting play on Bluesville? I LOOOVE Mud Morganfield (Muddy's oldest son) if you close your eyes, you'd swear it's Muddy himself and have his seventh son disc coming in on Monday. I can get it on Itunes but I'm not a fan of the way ITunes formats on my pc…long story, wrong thread for it here. I like Nathan James & the Rhythm Scratchers, Popa Chubby (hahahahaah the name cracks me up) among others. I enjoy it all, Howling Wolf, Muddy Waters, the Three Kings (BB, Albert, Freddie), Robert Johnson, Slim Harpo, T Bone Walker…but you know who I can only take in small doses (mainly because all his music sounds the same) is John Lee Hooker, he was local out here living Oakland for the longest time, but I see him pop up on my little screen on the sirius and it's outta there. I also like Big Joe Turner and lots of the female acts…Laurie Manivan, Katie Webster, Ruthie Foster, Shemeka Copeland, Sapphire the Uppity Blueswomen….they kick a$$! Marcia Ball! Love it. I just got Bonnie Raitt's latest Slip Stream for $3.99 off Amazon and Santana's Latest for $5 (and NO it's an actual band release not that cd full of guests format crap he's been dwelling on lately).

So Wrighty, what's your favorite stations?

My main presets on my sportster

(A band) Stern, BPM, Caliente, The Bridge, The Spectrum, En Vivo, Mad Dog Radio, Radio Margaritaville, BB King's Bluesville, Classic Vinyl.

(B Band) Alt Nation, Boneyard, Deep Tracks, 1st Wave, Grateful Dead, Underground Garage, SiriusXm U, Hair Nation, Octane, Lithium

(C Band) The Joint, Real Jazz, Spa, Chill, Watercolors, Outlaw Country, The Highway, Prime Country, Willie's Roadhouse, Elvis Radio.

I'm probaby going to juggle them around again soon as while I enjoy the presets I've got, I like to strategically locate them so that I can access more of my favorite channels from the first band. For instance I'm not a huge Jimmy Buffet fan, but locating that station gives me access to the dead (one slot below it) and classic rewind (one slot above). Speaking of Radio Margaritaville, that station is kind of like Bluesville in that i'm not a massive fan of the person the station is named after, but I love the other programming on the station.

hahahahahahaha….whatta name…hahahahahahahaahaha. Bonnie Raitt's new cd is pretty good, especially at the price I got it for ($3.99) and the Santana disc is growing on me…again for $5 it's well worth the investment. I did hear that artist you mentioned before, Mike Morgan& the Crawl…Texas Man, pretty good, I'll have to keep an eye out for those guys. I haven't delved into the JoeBon my brother sent me just yet, but the Walter Trout he sent me was fantastic! Got so much new stuff which I will review here, or not….let you know on them.

Yes…please do review them…I'll be anxious to hear what you think about them.

I will definitely have to check out Walter Trout and Bonnie Raitt.

Ya know….Duke Robillard is pretty awesome.

Yeah, he does this one song where he imitates all the different guitar styles…i have the title written down elsewhere. Do you like Saffire? Those ladies crack me up and I really like their music too bad they broke up (ain't it always the way). Now personally, while I do enjoy the gritty guitar based stuff ( I guess that's classified as either Chicago or Texas), that "New Orleans" piano sorta ragtime stuff I like too.

Just picked up the new Bonnamasso and Tedeschi/Trucks band live…both quite good!

I think I heard that Tedeshi/Trucks just won a Grammy for Best Blues Album..

It was their studio album. I hear what you're saying about Tedeschi, she does sound like Bonnie Raitt or in the style of…as they say. She's not bad.Yeah that super chikan guy is good too. I also like this Bill Wharton "the Sauce Boss" his tune Killer Tone is getting lots of play, real good stuff.

Yes…Wharton's song is really good….and he cooks Gumbo all the time too….. /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Yeah did i hear them say that he cooks a pot of gumbo on stage when he's performing and that at the end of the show he shares it with the crowd? That's tight!!! That Duke Robillard song is called Blues a rama where he plays all those different styles….

Recently I've picked up A TON of blues stuff mostly stuff I'd heard on /bluesville. That what I like about satellite radio and pandora, that its a nice way to discover new music. Terrestrial radio has just gotten so bad with all the commercials, it's just about unlistenable.
