Goatee-bearded Dudley Taft, 44, has learned his trade with great observation and dedication during spells with Sweet Water and Second Coming, and it’s paid off handsomely.
Four Aces and a Harp is an uncompromising blues album that puts it’s best foot forward. It’s no surprise that the album is simply great; it’s packed with some of the biggest blues talent in the industry.
Lee Pons, A good friend of American Blues Scene, who we’ve interviewed last month, just came by and gave us (and all of you!) an early Christmas present! He sat down the other night and pounded out eleven traditional Christmas tracks on his piano, with a blues twist!
Hugh Laurie is best known for playing the character “House” from the hit TV show of the same name. Many don’t know, however, that Hugh is an avid fan of our favorite music, the blues.
The Blues Foundation is moving to South Main next year, fulfilling a 30-year-old dream for a permanent home to showcase the music and the artists who make it.
I think it’s safe to finally say it: Buddy simply can’t make a bad album. “Living Proof” is an iconic Buddy Guy release.

When you think of Foghat, you’ll likely be thinking of the monster radio hits like “Slow Ride,” and “Fool For The City” but let’s not forget; Foghat has always been deeply rooted in the blues.
