Welcome to the redesigned site for The BluesPowR Blog, featuring a new look but the same great blues news and reviews we’ve been delivering for the past five years! We’re still working to migrate much of the content from the old site, with the hope of having our full archive of posts available in the coming weeks.
We hope you enjoy our new site, the header photo for which we snapped ourselves a few years back at the Heritage Music BluesFest in Wheeling, West Virginia, during a performance from the Brooks Family Dynasty featuring the father-and-sons trio of Lonnie, Wayne Baker, and Ronnie Baker Brooks; that’s Wayne’s guitar on the left, being played by both Wayne as well as father Lonnie in the center, while brother Ronnie plugs away on both his own and his father’s guitars. We’re sure we could say something artistic here about the scene representing the blues being handed down from one generation to the next or something of the sort, but the truth is, we just thought it made for a pretty cool shot.
Thanks as always for joining us as we keep on, livin’ on BluesPowR!
