Keith Turner & The Southern Sound was a popular Scottish rockabilly band until the demise of guitarist and singer Keith Turner in 2015. Turner’s other bands included Hi Voltage, The FretTones, Shake Rag and Memphis Detour.
“Drifter is the sound of a blues life searching for gospel redemption,” Jovin shares. “It’s me trying to figure out religion, women, my career, and everything I’ve gone through.”
Louisiana blues singer Jovin Webb has the John Lee Hooker growl down, can’t rhyme worth a shinola, but he made it to the final ten performers on the 2020 season of American Idol.
Selwyn Birchwood plays what he calls “Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues,” and his tribute to Florida Man seems appropriate given the recent weather.
Scotsman Ian Bowerman, aka Dollar Bill, is one tight band. Bowerman also played drums for Keith Turner’s Southern Sound and The Blue Mambas.
Hope you’re all sound and safe from hurricanes, tornados, fires, floods and fleas, and we’ll see you tomorrow, porch time- ish.
Whoa!
Jovin Webb and Selwyn Birchwood put Sunday morning in a different and much appreciated light.

“Blind Willie Johnson (1897-1945) with his song, “If I Had My Way I’d Tear The Building Down”. Johnson’s step-mother threw lye in his face as a child, which caused his blindness. He was in the forefront of slide guitar technique making strange sounds on his guitar using objects such as a brass ring, bottle or pocketknife. Johnson spent his final years preaching. His music was not really appreciated during his lifetime…”

Nice find. I didn’t recall his name although I recognize his songs John The Revelator and Nobody’s Fault But Mine, both covered by many others.
The article linked the the YouTube description has a bio of Johnson and others more familiar to me – gotta scroll down a bit for Johnson’s bio.
