Backalley blues
Cory bates
The impact of blues on rock music arises from the emotionally honest, timelessly powerful, trance-inducing music of American bluesmen like Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Listening to this simple, haunting music has compelled artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, Stevie Ray Vaughan, T.S. Mcphee, Buddy Guy, Frank Marino, Johnny Winter and Jimmy Page to unleash their mind expanding music on the world. The Corby Yates Band, a power trio, brings this heavy, guitar-driven, blues-based music back into the present time. Corby won the 18-and-under division of the 1998 international Jimi Hendrix Electric Guitar Competition finals in...

Bob Walkenhorst -venue Molloys irish Pub 2004
In thirteen new (and very short) songs, Walkenhorst has pared his already elemental approach to song arrangements down to a skeletal acoustic guitar, bass, and drums, most often played by his one-man-band. Harmonica is the lead instrument of choice, with the notable exception of a honking sax solo by Johnny Reno on “Jan Vermeer,� a Chuck Berry-style rocker about the great Dutch painter. The only lead guitar solo on the CD is played by Kansas City guitarist Jack W. Hayhow, Jr., on another retro-rocker, “J-Walkers,� about the first band Walkenhorst ever heard. Vocal harmonies appear on only one song, “Just Leaving.� From t...

Assorted blues show enjoy
Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on the use of the blue notes and a repetitive pattern that most often follows a twelve-bar structure. It evolved in the United States in the communities of former enslaved Africans, from spirituals, praise songs, field hollers, shouts, and chants. The use of blue notes and the prominence of call-and-response patterns in the music and lyrics are indicative of the blues' West African pedigree. The blues influenced later American and Western popular music, as it became part of the genres of ragtime, jazz, bluegrass, rhythm and blues, rock and roll...

Henery Thomas Texas Easy Street
THOMAS, HENRY (1874-1950s?). Henry (Ragtime Texas) Thomas, an early exponent of country blues, was born in Big Sandy, Texas, in 1874, one of nine children of former slaves who sharecropped on a cotton plantation in the northeastern part of the state. Thomas learned to hate cotton farming at an early age and left home as soon as he could, around 1890, to pursue a career as an itinerant songster. Derrick Stewart-Barker has commented that for his money Thomas was the best songster that ever recorded. Thomas first taught himself to play the quills, a folk instrument made from cane reeds that...

Truth is, there really is no story’s end yet, and Little Feat have indeed led a storied life ever since they formed in 1969. From then on, their unconventional signature of earthy, organic appeal and polished, first-rate musicianship wrapped around eclectic and memorable songs--clearly delivered as an authentic labor of love--has been a lasting fixture on the musical landscape. As American as apple pie--and rock ‘n roll itself--Feat’s music transcends boundaries, a freewheeling fusion of California rock and Dixie-inflected funk-boogie. In the mix as well are strains of folk, blues, rockabilly, country and jazz, inventing a hybrid sound that is truly Littl...

Although I continued to write songs and play the guitar the pieces never seemed to fall in place to start a new band.

Back Alley Hoodoo is a fusion of kindred spirits, united by their love of the Blues. 2005 saw a series of collaborations by some good souls with great talent, but none seemed to really click.

Three months later, Hoodoo made their Richmond debut at the RCBS Blues Challenge, where we didn't win, but we didn't suck either, so here we are, still playing, and...
