Where They At?

I'm beginning to hear from al you blues fans and it's great. I'm calling you "new blues" fans. Not that you don't love all the rich history of the genre, but that you're also open to hearing about the new guys. The up and comers. The guys we don't hear about. I'm present to the perception that there is actually a hierarchy in the industry. There's the "A" list - your Buddy Guy's and B.B. Kings and Lonnie Brooks', there's a "B" list - your Billy Branch's and Lurrie Bell's and then there's the "D" list. Now this ranking (I just made it up and am certainly not claiming it's true) has more to do with celebrity and maybe years in the business than anything else. I wanna hear about the "D" list! Those guys and girls out there who are great that you know of but the rest of us don't. Blog in and tell all of us about the great group or artist that's been jamming at your favorite hole in the wall that deserves to be heard about. Let's demand to hear them on blues radio stations. Let's tell the bookers and owners of the main clubs and venues that there are folks we want to see on their stages along with the usual suspects. New blues fans I am asking you to speak up and make a stand for the next generation of the blues!
