Louisiana Bluesmen

It seems every state in the union is represented with a blues musician or two. However, four states top the list. Texas. Mississippi, Illinois and Louisiana. It makes you wonder; is something in the water? Or is some sort of a strange phenomenon occurring we are just not aware of ? The spotlight shines on the great state of  Louisiana this time. I have had the pleasure of seeing with my own eyes and hearing with my own ears the following wonderful musicians from that state. They are ( in no particular order); Tab Benoit from New Orleans, Brian Lee, a blind bluesman also from New Orleans  and Bnois King who shares the stage with Smokin' Joe Kubeck and supplies tremendous vocals and guitar work that makes that group sizzle. All three share something in common. I call it "spicing up the blues" Like a good crayfish and gumbo dinner. Leaves you with a good taste in your mouth. Go see and taste Louisiana blues when you get the chance.
Two other great Louisiana bluesmen to note are: the late Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and of course. the living legend, Buddy Guy.
