Memphis Slim - Photo of The Week
John "Peter" Chatman otherwise known as "Memphis Slim" ranks as one of the greatest blues pianists of all time. Hailing from Memphis, he was exposed to the blues at an early age due to his family members being musicians; it's no surprise that he would embrace music as well.

Happy Birthday To: Stevie Ray Vaughan!
One of the most important blues artists to emerge in the past few decades. His compelling mixture of blues and rock, an invigorating stage presence, and masterful knowledge of the guitar makes him a highly revered Texas blues man that captivates the world and helps to revive interest in the blues with his music in the 1980’s.

Elvin Bishop and Charlie Musselwhite
Two Southern boys who both hit the big time in 1960s Chicago — Elvin Bishop and Charlie Musselwhite — have over a century of blues experience between them. Their first album together, “100 Years of Blues,” plays on that longevity but neither Oklahoma guitar ace Bishop, nor Tennessee harmonica legend Musselwhite sound ready for retirement just yet.

I was 18 when I auditioned for UFO at Pete Way’s house in Columbus, Ohio. The great Jerry Shirley from Humble Pie played drums and we ripped through songs like Doctor Doctor, Lights Out, Rock Bottom, Too Hot to Handle and hell even some Humble Pie tunes to boot. We had such a great afternoon.. The gig eventually went to Vinnie Moore but at the end of that day Pete gave me a cassette of a band who’s guitar player I apparently reminded him of. That band was Free and that guitarist was Paul Kossoff. I still have that cassette and have always been grateful to Pete not only for the opportunity but for the path he sent me on. The last time I saw him was about 9 years ago when he was touring with Michael Schenker during the Black Country Communion UK tour. I told him that story and he remembered giving me that cassette. I thanked him again. He was a joyous kind soul with a flair for the extreme. Just the way I envisioned Rock Stars to be. You are a star Pete. Rest In Peace. My condolences to his family.

Thank you to everyone who was purchased my A New Day Now 20th anniversary reissue and for making it the 23rd #1 Billboard Blues Album of my career. I am humbled and grateful as always.
