MEMPHIS,
Tenn. (AP) — The soulful singer Janiva Magness won entertainer
of the year at the 2009 Blues Music Awards in Memphis. The Michigan
native also won best contemporary female artist at Thursday's show.
Buddy Guy won three awards: contemporary blues album, contemporary
male artist and album of the year for "Skin Deep." Blues
legend B.B. King took home two honors: traditional male artist and
best traditional blues album for "One Kind Favor." Eden
Brent won acoustic artist of the year and best acoustic album for
"Mississippi Number One." Kenny Neal won song of the year
for "Let Life Flow."
The 2009 Blues Music Awards weekend was a good choice for a special ceremony held
in front of the Rock N' Soul Museum at the FedEx Forum. The Mississippi
Blues Commission was joined by numerous Memphis dignitaries
for the Mississippi To Memphis Marker unvieling. BB King was on
hand for this special event - the first Blues Trail marker placed outside
of Mississippi - and called Memphis 'my second home'!
Of course you can't be in Memphis and miss a short run down Hwy.
61 South to the historic Blues town of Clarksdale, MS. Steeped in
blues history, it's a journey in itself!
