I guess you could say that we’ve been on a bit of a hiatus since the start of this coronavirus lockdown. It’s certainly not that we haven’t been paying attention to what’s been going on in the blues world during this time, having in fact spent many hours taking in livestreams (and trying to catch up on those we weren’t able to tune into live) from blues artists all over the world, with some our favorites having come from the likes of Catfish, Robin Bibi, Dom Martin and Corey Harris across the pond to musicians from across the U.S. such as Eddie 9V, John Primer, Andrew Black, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Jimmy Burns, Kenny Neal, and Lucious Spiller, to name just a few.
Having frequently done most of the listening and writing for this blog on our train commute into and home from the office, however, we’ve come to realize that the lack of an office to which to commute has tended to put a pretty serious kibosh on our blues blogging! So while we’ve missed out on telling you about quite a few new album releases and other stories from the blues world, we hope the bit of good news we’re about to share will help make up for our absence from the scene these past few weeks, particularly for any fans of Eric Clapton and/or the late great King of the Blues himself, B.B. King (so basically everyone!)
