“One of a handful of truly inventive blues artists...slashing, incendiary guitar” – Chicago Tribune
Kenny Neal stands tall among the younger generation of blues players. His trademark brand of blues, featuring a combination of Louisiana swamp blues, funky rhythms and soul-deep vocals, powered by his slashing guitar playing and--on his solo albums--loping harmonica, puts him at the forefront of contemporary blues players.
I’m featuring a modern blues classic from Kenny Neal this week, by going back to 1994 for his incredible Alligator Records “Hoodoo Moon”.
Plus new releases from Ruthie Foster, Shemekia Copeland, Duke Robillard, JD Simo and Luther Dickinson, Vanessa Collier, Eddie 9V, Ronnie Baker Brooks and Eric Bibb.
