ALBERT CUMMINGS
Albert began playing the banjo prior to picking up the guitar. What put these instruments into his hands, what was it like to come to Memphis for the 1999 IBC after only performing for two years are some of the things I discussed with Albert as we listened to music from Someone Like You.
CHRIS O’LEARY – Segment begins At The 49:30 Mark
His last album, Live At Blues Now, was nominated for a Blues Blast Magazine Award for Best Live Album. His fourth album, Gonna Die Tryin’ has been released and we discussed his journey and the influences in his music. I also asked him which release he was more nervous about, this album or his son Jackson, which occured two months ago.
CHRIS BARNES – Segment begins At The 1:36:00 Mark
What can you say about Chris Barnes? The man can act, he can write, he owns two successful clubs and he also owns the genre, Hokum Blues. What is Hokum Blues? It is “a humorous song which uses extended analogies or euphemistic terms to make sexual innuendos.” I finally got to sit with Chris and talk about his career and the new album, 90 Proof Truth.
TODD WOLFE – COUCH KID NEW MUSIC – Segment begins At The 2:22:10 Mark
Todd joined me along with his new album, Long Road Back. What has Todd’s year been like since he Sat on The Couch in August of 2014? How many miles has Todd traveled in that time? Why did he select the 2 covers on the album? We talked about those things and more…
