Gone Away, Someday


I want to tell you about a CD by my friends Tim Atkins and Andre Perault, The Baja Blues Boys.

In a word: Recommended!

The disc features outstanding production by Scott Blinn, flawless performances by Tim, Andre and crew, and great original, Folksy Blues music. Tim and Andre have been playing together for a long time, and it shows (I think I first heard them better than 10 years ago). Gone Away, Someday sounds just like their performances - intimate, warm, emotionally upbeat, welcoming and real. No pretenses, no ego-serving noodling, just fine, accessible music that anyone (not just hard-core fans of the Blues) can relate to.
The folksy, friendly presentation serves the music very well, and will appeal to most. I highly recommend this CD to anyone, especially if you don't consider yourself a Blues Head.

The show that got away

I missed a really good show here in town; Kim Wilson, Nathan James, and Billy Flynn at The New Village Arts Theater on Dec. 13, 2009.
Man, what a way to finish up the year!

Local Bluesman Nathan James is easily my favorite living guitar player.
Kim Wilson is the undisputed master of Blues Harmonica.
Billy Flynn has been laying it down for decades and often accompanies Kim Wilson.

Some of these songs were captured by my pal Mark (of the Blues) Abbott.

Great performances; enjoy!













I think this is my favorite of the show:
