Browsing: Little Village Foundation

Ruthie Foster called it an “honor, a blessing and privilege” to be at The King Biscuit Blues Festival.

Five artists appearing at King Biscuit Blues Festival record for Little Village: D. K. Harrell, Sonny Green, Memphissippi Sounds, Tia Carroll, and Candice Ivory.

Produced in three days, the new record contains a dozen cuts masterfully crafted and featuring guest vocals by Bonnie Raitt, Ruthie Foster, and Curtis Salgado, all of whom Braunagel has worked with in various capacities.

The pandemic has separated the winners from the losers in the music business. Little Village is one of the winners. With the growing fan base for the label’s artists, the blues has a bright future. 

When Cameron and Damion met up, something clicked instantly. Damion had never heard hill country old-school groove music, but as soon as he did, he realized he’d been a fish out of water with more conventional blues.

This breakout recording will have Tia Carroll’s name on everyone’s lips. Believe me when I say, You Gotta Have It!

Indeed, this album is the “shelter” from the storm that permeates so much of today’s electric blues and Americana.

‘Heartland and Soul’ is the debut release from an artist drawing upon a lot of experience, and the result is a well-crafted album that everyone should hear.

Shay is the youthful embodiment of an old soul, bringing her performances in a powerful, sassy, and seductive way.
