The impact of blues on rock music arises from the emotionally honest, timelessly powerful, trance-inducing music of American bluesmen like Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. Listening to this simple, haunting music has compelled artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, Stevie Ray Vaughan, T.S. Mcphee, Buddy Guy, Frank Marino, Johnny Winter and Jimmy Page to unleash their mind expanding music on the world. The Corby Yates Band, a power trio, brings this heavy, guitar-driven, blues-based music back into the present time. Corby won the 18-and-under division of the 1998 international Jimi Hendrix Electric Guitar Competition finals in Seattle, WA. Later that evening, Al Hendrix, Jimi's father, personally gave this young guitar virtuoso, singer and songwriter the coveted Voodoo Chile award.

To obey the Lord is my first and only way I know to have peace and joy beyond all understanding. Amen!

In thirteen new (and very short) songs, Walkenhorst has pared his already elemental approach to song arrangements down to a skeletal acoustic guitar, bass, and drums, most often played by his one-man-band. Harmonica is the lead instrument of choice, with the notable exception of a honking sax solo by Johnny Reno on “Jan Vermeer,� a Chuck Berry-style rocker about the great Dutch painter. The only lead guitar solo on the CD is played by Kansas City guitarist Jack W. Hayhow, Jr., on another retro-rocker, “J-Walkers,� about the first band Walkenhorst ever heard. Vocal harmonies appear on only one song, “Just Leaving.� From the sparse instrumentation to the early-’60s-style extreme-stereo production, the overall sound of The Beginner is as much about what has not been recorded as it is about what you do hear.

I have been playing guitar ever since he was a child growing up. My influences have been Jimi Hendrix, John McLaughlin, Al Dimeola, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter, Roy Buchanon, Jimmy Page and a few others. I may have a taste of each one in my playing style from time to time. Like most musicians I have been though different stages of playing. When younger I played mostly Blues Rock guitar. http://www.myspace.com/jackfalkproject

Blues is a vocal and instrumental form of music based on the use of the blue notes and a repetitive pattern that most often follows a twelve-bar structure. It evolved in the United States in the communities of former enslaved Africans, from spirituals, praise songs, field hollers, shouts, and chants. The use of blue notes and the prominence of call-and-response patterns in the music and lyrics are indicative of the blues' West African pedigree. The blues influenced later American and Western popular music, as it became part of the genres of ragtime, jazz, bluegrass, rhythm and blues, rock and roll, hip-hop,and pop songs.

Contemporary blues with a dash of southern rock that might best be described as Bonnie Raitt and ZZ Top crashing an Allman Brothers house party. Ripping guitars, dual lead vocalists, steroid-driven B3, handsome horns and fat pocket groove - Rusty Wright Blues has got it all

THOMAS, HENRY (1874-1950s?). Henry (Ragtime Texas) Thomas, an early exponent of country blues, was born in Big Sandy, Texas, in 1874, one of nine children of former slaves who sharecropped on a cotton plantation in the northeastern part of the state. Thomas learned to hate cotton farming at an early age and left home as soon as he could, around 1890, to pursue a career as an itinerant songster. Derrick Stewart-Barker has commented that for his money Thomas was the best songster that ever recorded. Thomas first taught himself to play the quills, a folk instrument made from cane reeds that sound similar to the quena used by musicians in Peru and Bolivia; later, he picked up the guitar. On the twenty-three recordings made by Thomas from 1927 to 1929, he sings a variety of songs and accompanies himself on guitar and at times on the quills.

The heart of this band is singer/songwriter Blue Fox, a string bending wildman with the subtlety and sensitivity of a true blues artist. Add one rock solid, swinging, funky, tongue in groove (emphasis on groove) rhythm section you've got something to write home about!

A guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, he is meticulous, whether it is perfecting a guitar riff or working on a lyric.But then again, its always been that way. Ever since he first saw The Beatles on television, Deziel has been involved in music, whether playing, writing or admiring. He grew to love vocal harmonies and layered guitars, and used them in his own compositions as well as those he has written with other artists. In 1991, Deziel met Jeff Carlisi of .38 Special through a meeting arranged by a friend. After that initial meeting, Carlisi became Deziel's mentor, and Deziel began sending him tapes of his own compositions to critique and judge. Carlisi would respond by phone or by mail with his compliments and comments. This is something that to this day Deziel claims to be an invaluable asset to his work. However, Deziel doesn't do everything solo. In 1993, Deziel founded the Connecticut band Sundance. As a guitarist/vocalist, he is one of the principal songwriters in the band. Sundance released its first full-length album, Pearls of Wisdom in November 1995. The band was a popular draw throughout the Northeast, and could be heard on many radio stations. With the group Deziel was also the subject of a television special called Behind the Scenes With Sundance.
