Playing For Change x Visit Mississippi. Nice variations on Robert Johnson’s classic.
Born in 1952 on Craig Air Force Base near Selma, Alabama, slide guitarist, singer and songwriter Kenny Brown plays in the North Mississippi Hill Country blues style. He was taught by some of the best, including R.L. Burnside, who claimed him as his adopted son.
Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, James Thomas Uvalle (1980 – 2015) taught himself to play guitar at the age of 11. At 16 he adopted the moniker JT Coldfire and began his songwriting and performing career. He passed away suddenly at 35 years.
“The Killborn Alley Blues Band kills. Picture a deep-dish Chicago version of the Fabulous Thunderbirds back 30 years ago.”

Stock market up, stock market down, stock market up, and shake it all around. Been happening forever, seems a lot of people with TDS just began to notice. Meanwhile, the porch will open tomorrow promptly at whenever and we’ll discuss the best methods of trapping a skunk. See you then.

Playing for Change has some great stuff. My all time favorite is “All Along the Watchtower”. That video is spectacular. I even started liking the Lakota Singers in it. I don’t remember where I first heard it a few years back. It may have even been on your wonderful blog………

The best part of Playing For Change for me is that they take the old overplayed rock anthems and make them listenable again. Combining artists of all genres and locations into one video is brilliant.
Just checked the archives, and the first time I posted one of their videos was in 2012. It was their take on Gimme Shelter. My favorite was The Band’s The Weight.
