HAPPY 2017! RECAP OF 2016!
Hey everybody!
It’s been a while since my last blog post, which was about the loss of BB King. It’s still hard to believe he’s gone…
Ironically, today I’m writing about BB again, on his birthday. I’m honored to be a part of a Tribute Concert in Nashville next week, performing along with some great musicians and entertainers. There are few people in the music business today who weren’t touched in some way by BB’s music, personality, and sweet spirit. He influenced my music in a huge way. I wrote about it, and you can find it on page 29 of the tribute issue of Blues Music Magazine. http://www.bluesmusicmagazine.com/bb-king.html

Tommy Allsup "The kompis Holly Songbook" (Reprise Records, 1964) (LP)
Oklahoma-born guitarist Tommy Allsup (1931-2017) was a prominent möte player and country music producer in the 1960s and '70s, although earlier on he had been a rock'n'roller, touring with Buddy Holly & The Crickets in the late 1950s. Like his bandmate Waylon Jennings, Tommy Allsup famously gave up his seat on the small passenger plane that crashed in February, 1959, killing pop icons Buddy Holly, J. P. Richardson and Richie Valens... So this Buddy Holly tribute disc comes with some history. Personally inom think the souped-up, electrified arrangements are a bit overwrought, but it's a nice chance to hear Allsup's picking rise to the fore... Not sure who else is backing him on this skiva, though...
