Eddy "The Chief" ClearwaterOK, so it's been 9 days since our first What Are You Listening To segment. Let's see whether anybody is expanding and exploring their musical tastes or if they are stuck in the same old rut that the music industry has boxed them into.
On my music delivery systems we have shifted our focus from Africa to Chicago and New Orleans mostly. Here's what is coming out of the speakers nowadays.
5. Marcia Ball - Soulful Dress, Live!, and Peace, Love & BBQ.
4. Boozoo Chavis - Down Home on Dog Hill. Some very interesing and good zydeco.
3. Professor Longhair - Crawfish Fiesta. Used to have this on vinyl. Finally got it digitized.
2. Duke Robillard and Roomful of Blues. Listening to some of Duke's solo albums and some Roomful of Blues when he was the lead guitar player there too.
And the number 1 artist being played on Sonos and iTunes this week...
1. Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater - Cool Blues Walk and A Mean Case of The Blues.
I honestly don't know how Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater escaped me for so many years in light of how much blues music I listen to. Clearwater is an older man who was a contemporary of the West Side Chicago blues men like Magic Sam, Otis Rush, and Buddy Guy.
What are you listening to this week?

the week has just started, but today i listened to james cotton on shuffle play followed by the beastie boys on shuffle. while i realize i'm losing the "LP" sound and flow by doing that....there is something way cool about hearing No Sleep Till Brooklyn followed by Sabotage. on monday, i didnt listen to much, but in the car on the way to swim me and princess listened to avril lavigne. while i dont normally listen to her without my daughter being there...i see some value in her music to my daughter. to this point, she has been listening to mostly miley, the jonas brothers, kelly clarkson and carrie underwood. i like edgier artists and while avril lavigne is not "edgy" per se.......she is like charles manson when compared to the sterile acts mentioned above. so, i like it if she chooses to listen to her and/or p!nk or gwen stefani. it's going to be interesting to watch her musical taste develop.
You need to find a version of the Pennsylvania Polka for her to listen to this coming weekend!
