How to make a rock & blues stew
Mix together with extreme
caution and a touch of frenzy: an insatiable passion for the wild and dangerous
smokin’ steamy blues and gutsy rock ‘n’ roll; a healthy measure of renegade
rebelliousness and rambunctious mischief; full-moon madness driven by the zodiac
and other Cosmic capers; a razor-sharp mind that splashes words like a
paintball fight; a call for the open road and skies—and you have the
ingredients for the music, the people, the backstage presence and the sights
and sounds of Rock ‘n’ Blues Stew II. Follow what my friends call
“Mitch-Tripping the Musical Universe” with the heroes, angels, and devils from
the onstage and studio days of Derek and the Dominos, George Harrison, The
Band, the J. Geils Band, Delaney and Bonnie & Friends with Eric Clapton,
the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Leo Kottke, Richard Thompson, Rory Block, Buddy Guy, and
many others of voice and instrument.
Here are some of the essays,
interviews, and articles that brought me friendship and fun through the world
of the music circuit and the artists who make it their life calling. From Nashville and Memphis to the Ozarks, down
in the Mississippi Delta, Gadsden, AL, Macon, GA, Muscle Shoals, AL, or Red
Bank and Asbury Park, NJ: if you play
it, shake it, or just let it give you the groove, then drop in these stories
and let it flow. It’s a stew of rock and
blues for your musical news. Living and
loving large as a freelance editor, travel with me to the homes and life
stories, concert backstage rooms and sound studios, and the fame and glory of some
famous and upcoming drummers, guitar players, vocalists and songwriters of our
time—and the tales they have to tell.
