Lonnie Johnson - Backwater Blues

Backwater Blues
"Lonnie's a real interesting character. He recorded solo blues numbers, he also recorded jazz guitar, as early as 19 and 27... but time passes on, and even as great a talent as Lonnie Johnson can be forgotten. By the late 50's, he was toiling as a hotel janitor when he was rediscovered and had a major comeback on the folk blues festival trail."

Myra Taylor with Jimmie King's Orchestra - Still Blue Water

Still Blue Water
"One of the last authentic swing singers in the Kansas City tradition."

Glenn Barber - Ice Water

Ice Water
At the age of 6 he got in trouble for touching a neighbor's guitar (Spinal Tap clip). His dad saw how much he loved it and worked day and night so that he could buy him a 3 dollar and 50 cent guitar. Turns out it was a good investment. That guitar became his best friend and he made some rockin' music on it."
