Eric Clapton:
Crossroads Guitar Festival 2007 is due out on DVD
on November 20, 2007 – this is the must have
DVD this year from the acclaimed 2nd Crossroads
Guitar Festival was a day-long concert held in Chicago
on July 28, 2007 to benefit Crossroads Centre in
Antiqua. The 1st was in 2004. This two-disc DVD
features:
Sonny Landreth,
Eric Clapton, John McLaughlin, Doyle Bramhall II,
Susan Tedeschi with The Derek Trucks Band, Johnny
Winter, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, The
Robert Cray Band, Jimmie Vaughan, Hubert Sumlin,
B.B. King, Vince Gill, Albert Lee, Sheryl Crow,
Willie Nelson, John Mayer, Los Lobos, Jeff Beck,
Robbie Robertson Steve Winwood and Buddy Guy - there’s
plenty of collaborations here too.
A couple of treats
include Aaron Loesch, an up-and-coming bluesman
and dubbed Guitar Center’s King of the Blues
performs with Hubert Sumlin. Also, I’ve heard
Tal Wilkenfeld, the 22-year-old thunder from Down
Under stole the show with her bass playing as part
of Jeff Beck’s quartet.
Good news for those
of you in St. Louis, KETC (PBS Channel 9) will air
the concert on Wednesday, November 28 at 9:00 P.M.
and then again on Friday, November 30th at 2:00
A.M.
Even more goods
- conveniently this DVD release is just days before
my birthday if a friend or loved one is looking
for a birthday present!!!
Peace, love and
blues –
Ciao’
for now, peace.
