For Clapton fans...
Okay, I know I've been slacking, but it IS my middle name after all...he he. I was poking around on American Blues News, another online news source I write for occasionally, and thought Clapton fans might enjoy reading about Eric's year in shrink-wrap. So, without further ado, I share with you: Eric Clapton 2011: A Year In Review by J Blake. Enjoy! <-----Click Here!

Candye Kane at The Continental Club, Houston
Candye Kane is one helluva stand-up kinda gal! She dedicated not one, but TWO songs to my pal Leo Aston, who is also battling pancreatic cancer. She is a survivor, and gave him an unbelievably inspiring evening. Thank You Ms Kane. Houston Loves You!

Spotify Adds Artist Radio
Not sure if anyone here uses Spotify, but if you don't, you should definitely check it out. They've recently updated the app to now include artist radio. I'm listening to a mix of music that they consider to be similar to Texas Blues Artist Jimmie Vaughan. And it's pretty good stuff.
More info in this article:
And if you want to learn more about Spotify, check this out:

I highly recommend it. I have playlists that I can share with anyone out there when you get setup. It's all free.

A couple of things to know about The Texas Blues Roadhouse...
Google 'Texas Blues'....go ahead, just try it. The Texas Blues Roadhouse comes up #3, right under two Wikipedia pages. That means, we are the very first business/organization in the list! What this means to you is folks searching from all over the world will find us/you with one easy search. The Texas Blues Roadhouse is non-profit. It is user driven. It is a one-stop virtual introduction to anyone searching for 'Texas Blues Artists'...statewide and worldwide. In other words, you can't win if you don't enter. The more Texas Blues musicians create profiles, add photos, write blogs, and SHARE everywhere, facebook, twitter, etc. The more traffic coming through (hits) means the higher the search rankings will be, and people looking for us from across the globe will more easily find us. ***NOTE*** The chat feature is now located at the bottom right in the bar where it says ' 2 Online', (or however many) and you have to click there for it to pop up, similar to the old facebook.
Things you should do:
- Create a profile
- Upload Photos (not more than 16 a day please) and the last ones uploaded are the first ones seen in the slideshow, so we can enjoy a visual introduction to new members.
- Write a Blog. (it may even be featured on the front page if found to be noteworthy) By 'BLOG' I mean you can post anything blues-related on your blog, including upcoming events, or a story you want to write about blues. ANYTHING. Once you do, you can 'share' it to facebook too.
- Join Groups of interest to you. *NOTE* Join the Blues Scene group of the major city near you to post your band's gig info, posters, or anything you want to share by clicking 'Add a New Discussion'. That way you can also share to Facebook or Twitter when it's ready.
- Help add info such as Jams you know of (message Abby)
- For Venues, ReverbNation pages (or other info. for input into dropdown pages) you will need to send it to Abby Owen in a message, and they…

Deep In The Heart Of Texas ~ at American Blues News!
Check out the latest feature 'Deep In The Heart Of Texas' at American Blues News. Articles have been posted on Lance Lopez, Guitar Shorty, Carolyn Wonderland, Gary Nicholson and now Jimmy Vaughan. Review of Mill Block Blues in Blues Blast Magazine
Link to original review: http://www.thebluesblast.com/bbnow.htm
Ruff Kutt Blues Band – Mill Block Blues
Self Release 2011
13 tracks; 56.04 minutes
Now listen here all fans of great Texas blues. Unfurl the banners, ready the champagne and get ready to celebrate the return to the recording studio of Anson Funderburgh on this exciting release which is also raising funds for HART, the Blues Foundation’s charity fund for blues musicians in need. This is a worthy cause and it is great to see Anson back on CD, so the only remaining question is whether it is a good CD. Delighted to say that, in my view, it certainly is!
After the sad death of Sam Myers, Anson Funderburgh took his band The Rockets off the road and his sabbatical has lasted some five years, apart from occasional sightings on the local Texas…

Rory Gallagher ~ His Life by Abby Owen
American Blues News<--- Click here to read my article on Rory Gallagher for American Blues News. He was a beautiful man and highly talented musician...passed away in 1995 at age 47 due to 'Too Much Alcohol' which was ironically the title of one of his biggest hits. Very sad...and a warning to you heavy drinkers. Stop pickling your liver. You only have one. Posted by Abby Owen on June 9, 2011 at 7:30am
New Anson Funderburgh CD Coming Out!!!
I'm happy to announce that a new CD for charity is coming out in March. And it features the legendary guitar work of Dallas bluesman, Anson Funderburgh. To make things even a bit cooler, I was asked to sing on a couple songs on the CD. And I co-wrote the title track of the album entitled "Mill Block Blues" with my good friend James Goode.
You can find out more about the CD at our website here:
I'm really excited about this. I will let everyone know as we get closer to the CD release so that you can rush out and pickup a copy. Maybe one of you would be willing to write a review? I'm a little biased. LOL.
Anyways, happy happy days.
Michael

Dallas International Guitar festival
I would like to take the time to thank Mr. Jimmy Wallace for allowing the Rockin' Robert T. and The Dragon Grey Band to play this year at the show. I think I can speak for the whole band and say we really appreciated the opportunity to play at such a prestigious event. The monumental task of putting on a 3 day show of some of the greatest guitarist from all genre of music is beyond most folks comprehension and ability, so for all your effort we thank you. Your love of the music gave a new band trying to get up, maybe the opportunity of their life time. Thank you so much and God bless you.

Has anyone heard Ray Manzarek's new album? 1 Reply
Hey everyone! I am a huge Doors fan, and I heard a few weeks back on a site like this that Ray Manzarek released a new album. I was skeptical about buying it, because it had more of a blues influence from Roy Rogers, but I am so happy I did. Honestly it is music to my ears (pun intended). And it came with a signed laminate, which was awesome. Has anyone else heard it?
