Saturday Matinee – Jimmie Vaughan, Ruzz ‘Guitar’ Evans Blues Revue & Los Lonely Boys

“Stevie had the intensity, but Jimmie had the feel; Custodian of a genre, master and eternal student, genius born of passion for honoring those who came before.” – YouTube comment
Jimmie Vaughan & The Fabulous Thunderbirds  – Extra Jimmies (ca. 1980).

From Bristol, UK, Ruzz ‘Guitar’ Evans Blues Revue cranks out a variety of  blues styles, from big band swing to rockabilly to western space retro rock. Evans won the Guitarist Of The Year award and was nominated Artist Of The Year (runner up to Jimmie Vaughan!) in The Blues Lounge Radio Show 2021 Awards.

Los Lonely Boys:
“Leveraging the power of their connection, brothers communicate in their own vernacular understood by one another, yet alien to the rest of the world. Scaling one mountain at a time, they have summited unprecedented heights.”
Whew. Seems like someone’s girlfriend wrote that description, but these guys rock. San Angelo, Texas, brothers Henry (vocals, guitar), Jojo (bass, vocals) and Ringo Garza (drums) have been performing since 1996.

Time compression kicked in for me again this week, exacerbated by ad-libbed napping and the leftovers of a drive-by head cold. Be back here tomorrow, porchtime-ish, and we’ll discuss variable speed quantum hypotheticals and, you know, stuff.
