Diana Jones | Pretty Girl | My Remembrance Of You | Newsong Recordings | Don't know much about her, but this song sounds great. | |||
Stevie Vaughan & Double Trouble | Live Another Day | In The Beginning | Epic | Live recording from April, 1980 | |||
Sue Foley | This Time | Big City Blues | Antone's Records | This whole set is a tribute to another music pillar who died last week, Clifford Antone. As a young man he opened his self-named club in Austin (1975) to give the blues greats a place to play... but he also gave young players a chance to play with the great ones... Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sue Foley, others. | |||
Doug Sahm | Blessed Are These Tears | The Last Real Texas Blues Band | Antone's Records / Texas Music Group | That was the voice of Mr. Antone there introducing the song.... and pretty much stating in 3 seconds why he worked real hard for the blues: "I hope you enjoy all the music." He got busted & did jail time, yeah, but the blues had a great friend in this man. | |||
Boozoo Chavis | The Spotted Cow Died | Hey Do Right! | Antone's Records / Discovery | Like the previous couple songs, Antone had a hand in producing this one by a 1950's Louisiana legend who made a comeback in the 90's. | |||
Sue Foley | Hooker Thing | Without A Warning | Antone's Records | More from Canadian Sue Foley, who recorded her first several records on Mr. Antone's label. He was willing to sign a young unknown (22) on the strength of demo she mailed him. | |||
