Re: Blues Friday New Page

These guys are terrific. I have listened to many of their songs previously. They also performed with Elyza Doyle on this song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0znpJ8mE48

it is one of my Townes Van Zandt songs.  Doesn't have the emotion as when Towne's recorded it - but holy cow - that banjo picking is hot !
This the Townes version from Heartworn Highways.

Thanks CG for another great presentation of cool music!

Re: Blues Friday New Page

Note- Because of tour date listed as " Because of the   coronavirus all tour dates have been cancelled"  I can not tell if the artist is new or very old and not longer someone I would normally list. So for what I hope is  a very short time I am not going to post new  blues singers until I can tell if they are still relevant.
