Rough & Uncut

Dave Chavez Band - Nothing But the Blues

Album: The Originals |  https://www.reverbnation.com/victorla... 
Established about eight years ago and led by Lawson, the tight three-man band take their name from the song, “Boogie Chillen,’” which was made famous by late Delta blues icon, John Lee Hooker.

“We play a lot of blues,” said Lawson, befitting his band’s name. “But at a lot of the places we play we have to play classic rock and country, too, so people can dance.”

Despite his love of original music, Lawson allows that he and Boogie Chillen may summon no more than a trio of originals during any given performance.

“We do one called ‘Hammer,’ which is a blues-based rock song,” Lawson said. “We have one called ‘Back to Alabama,’ which I play with a slide guitar. Mostly wherever we play we’re expected to play covers, but every now and then we’ll throw an original into the show.”

Now, Lawson certainly neither qualifies nor touts himself as a long-suffering Delta blues musician a la John Lee Hooker or Robert Johnson. He’s an art teacher at Richlands Middle School.

However, he plays a wicked Fender Stratocaster, with which he rocks from a base forged in the blues. Include him more within the school of blues in terms of style that yielded Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jonny Lang than Muddy Waters and Elmore James.

“It’s definitely more of a blues-based sound,” Lawson said. “Even when we play classic rock or country, you’ll hear that blues influence. One of my favorites was Stevie Ray Vaughan, but I love the old guys like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, too.”

Fittingly, Lawson and Boogie Chillen band mates Don Armstrong (bass) and Andrew Brown (drums) are apt to summon such blues staples as the Willie Dixon-written, Muddy Waters-performed “Hoochie Coochie Man.” Listen for Elmore James’ “Shake Your Moneymaker” alongside Vaughan’s “Texas Flood” and “Pride and Joy.”

“We do quite a bit of ZZ Top and Jimi Hendrix,” Lawson said. “I like to do things that nobody else does.”

As such, Lawson prefers to apply his own stamp upon tunes obscure and otherwise.

“We kind of make them our own,” Lawson said. “I never really play anything exactly like the records. Then I never play it the same way twice. We just take the music and go with it.”

Christian Willisohn - Blues In My Bottle

Lyrics: 
Woke up this morning
I was all alone
I don't know what happened
My baby was gone
Hey, hey, hey
How unlucky can one man be?
Lord, every woman I get
Somebody takes her away from me
My friends don't come around me
Because I've been so blind
I can't borrow a nickle
Not even a dime
Hey, hey, hey
How unlucky can one man be?
Lord, every woman I get
Somebody takes her away from me
I felt so all alone
I was pacing the floor
The telephone rang
There's my baby next door
Hey, hey, hey
How unlucky can one man be?
Lord, every woman I get
Somebody takes her away from me

How Unlucky Can One Man Be

With shows that sell out all over the world, Melvin Taylor is one of the greatest guitarists in the history of rock, blues, and jazz. He is often referred to as a guitar players guitarist. 

This self taught master was influenced by many of history's true guitar pioneers including - Albert King, Jimmy Reed, Wes Montgomery, and Jimi Hendrix.  He has appeared on the same ticket with Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, George Benson, Buddy Guy, and BB King.

Melvin Taylor was born in 1959 in Jackson, Mississippi. His musical roots however have always been in Chicago, where he moved with his family when he was 3 years old. The proverbial musical prodigy, started playing guitar at age 6. Melvin was influenced and inspired by some of the world’s greatest blues players, many of whom lived in or near his Chicago neighborhood.


By the age of twelve, he was working in clubs. He taught himself slide playing, finger-picking, and flat-picking styles from listening to his favorite artists.  By the time he was a teenager, Melvin’s incredible ability and unique style was already grabbing attention on Maxwell Street. In 1980, he joined veterans Pinetop Perkins, and Willie “Big Eyes”  Smith of the Muddy Waters Band to form the Legendary Blues Band and tour Europe. Melvin made an immediate impact on the European circuit, and while in France, he cut his first two albums - Blues on the Run(1982), and Plays the Blues for You (1984).

Following his return to the US, Melvin recorded four additional CD’s for Evidence Music - Bang That Bell (1999), Dirty Pool (2002), Melvin Taylor and the Slack Band (2003), and Rendezvous With the Blues (2004). 

Melvin also contributed to two tracks on John Mayall's 2022 Grammy Nominated album, The Sun Is Shining Down!


Melvin is currently working on his new album coming out in 2025!

Love That Burns

Mean Blues
Feel this is the end for me
Mean Blues
Feel this is the end for me
Cruel world pulling me down
It’s making it hard, tomorrow to see
Three days I haven’t heard from my girl
You know something’s wrong
Three days I haven’t heard from my girl
You know something’s wrong
She left me for another
There’s a hole now where my heart belongs
There’s no use of me searching
I gotta let that girl go
There’s no use of me searching
I gotta let that girl go
There’s nothing for her to come back to
Mean blues got me sinkin’ too low
Drown my sorrows with a bottle
Until I lose my mind
Drown my sorrows with a bottle
Until I lose my mind
They can drag the bottom of the East River
That’s where my heartache they’ll find

Mean Blues

This is my blues
'Cause I'm back then on my own again
This is the blues I'm playing
Yes it's a fine old thing
When the night is cold and lonely
This is the midnight blues
This is the midnight blues
For the girl I left behind me
Ain't it the final thing
This is the blues
Just a feeling deep inside of me
This is the midnight blues

After Paradise

Midnight Blues

After a career as a local bluesman and blues promoter in Texas and Oklahoma, Gary Coleman found his niche when he signed over his first album, a self-produced outing originally issued on his own label, to the fledgling Ichiban company out of Atlanta in 1986. Since that time, both Coleman and Ichiban have made their marks in the blues field: not only did Coleman release half-a-dozen of his own albums, he also oversaw production of the bulk of Ichiban's hefty blues catalog, bringing to the studio a number of artists he'd booked or toured with in his previous career (Chick Willis, Buster Benton, and Blues Boy Willie, among others). A singer/guitarist on-stage, Coleman often took on a multi-instrumentalist's role in the studio. His music remained true to the blues and to theKing legacy saluted in his "B.B." moniker and in his acknowledged debt to fellow Texan Freddie King.

Coleman began listening to the blues as a child and by the time he was 15, he was working with Freddie King. Following his association with King, Coleman supported Lightnin' Hopkins and formed his own band, which played around Texas. Gary also began booking blues musicians into clubs in Texas, Oklahoma, and Colorado. He continued to play gigs and book concerts for nearly two decades. In 1985, he formed Mr. B's Records, his own independent label. He released his debut album, Nothin' But the Blues, the following year. The album was popular and gained the attention of Ichiban Records, who signed Coleman and re-released Nothin' But the Blues in 1987.

If You Can Beat Me Rockin', Coleman's second album, was released in 1988. That same year, he began producing albums for a number of other artists, as well as writing songs for other musicians and acting as an A&R scout for Ichiban. Between 1988 and 1992, he released six records and produced another 30, including albums for Little Johnny Taylor and Buster Benton. Coleman continued to be active until his untimely death in the mid-'90s, both as a performing and recording artist, as well as a producer.

Nothin' But The Blues

Let Me Love You Baby

A few years ago, while recording Behold A Pale Horse, I recorded several covers. This is one of them; a version of Arcade Fire's "My Body Is A Cage". 
There's a music video for this, as well. You can find it here:

My Body Is A Cage

♪Blues Delight Slightly Hung Over

Just like Strauss' award-winning debut CD "Electric Blues" (Blues In Germany Award for Best Album in 2014), "I Go By Feel" could easily be called an international blues summit. On this fully packed, 60-minute plus studio effort his collaborations with Delmark recording artist Mike Wheeler and ex-Luther Allison drummer Tommie Harris add a new, more contemporary Chicago Blues influence to the guitarist’s repertoire, while Tony Vega's (Houston) raunchy slide, Sax Gordon's (Boston) muscular saxophone and The Netherlands’ blues harmonica export No.1, Big Pete van der Pluijm, contribute a huge amount of variety to Strauss’ straight-ahead, natural blues formula.

Strauss, who discovered his passion for the music of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan and many others as a teenager in the 1980s, is “as authentic as any Texas or Chicago axe slinger around” (Gary Reinhard, WITR Radio/Bad Dog Blues, Rochester, New York) and has honed his chops over the course of more than 25 years of playing clubs and festivals. "I Go By Feel" not only confirms Kai Strauss' reputation as being in the top league of Europe's electric blues guitarists but also shows that the 45-year-old has evolved into a convincing singer, songwriter and producer in his prime, ready for many more good things to happen.

When Kai Strauss goes by feel, the Blues is literally in good hands.

Gary Moore - Still Got The Blues (Guitar Solo Cover)

Ennio Morricone's Chi Mai (meaning Who Ever in Italian, although it looks Asian to me :)

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHHPlqwxZA8

He composed this in 1971 for an Italian movie called Maddalena, and reused it in 1981 for the beautiful final scene of the French movie Le Professionnel starring Jean-Paul Belmondo who insisted on using this music. It was also reused in some other movies and TV series and is famous in French pop culture thanks to a memorable dog food TV ad for Royal Canin, where the music is used while a dog is running in slow motion.

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2, using a Bösendorfer sampled grand piano with some echo, and strings I control with an expression pedal, well, try to control.
