St. Louis has a rich history of Blues music and the trio set out to
bring awareness to our local blues scene. We followed harmonica player
Big George Brock to Clarksdale, Mississippi for a 75th birthday live
CD recording at Ground Zero. We profile 16-year old guitar player
and vocalist Marquise Knox, Barbara Carr, Arthur Williams, David Dee,
Rudy "Silvercloud" Coleman, Boo-Boo WIliams, Kim Massie
and others. There is a travel piece on the great blues cities Clarksdale,
Ms, Memphis, TN and Chicago, IL.
Over the past 10 years, the area has lost many blues greats like Henry
Townsend, Oliver Sain, Johnnie Johnson to name a few. On June 10,
The St. Louis Post Dispatch will have extensive coverage over several
sections of the Sunday paper. STLtoday.com will have a great online
presentation that will include video interviews and performances,
music samples, a timeline, photos etc.
If you like the blues, check out this video, then drop by STLtoday.com
on June 10th.
