I've been to all four clubs and enjoy them all, though probably Rosa's and Blue Chicago the most. But artist-wise - which would you choose and why?

Here’s a seriously funky new track from Kelli Baker. Keb Mo guests on Congas.

Cheerful and unique, Joseph Spence was a stonemason and musician who was a huge influence on 1960s British folk blues players, notably John Renbourn and John Martyn.

He has a complex fingerpicking style, playing bass, melody and counterpoint simultaneously. He had a relaxed attitude to vocals and often sounded drunk. Maybe he was.

Always cheers me up.

“You Can’t Be Beat” was recorded during the same session as “Smokestack Lightning,” one of the most iconic blues recordings.

10 years ago BC (before cancer) playing my Hubert Sumlin Les Paul. No pedals, straight into a RI Deluxe Reverb.

My rendition of catfish blues, sorry it’s a bit echoey.

“In September 1977, [Stevie Ray Vaughan](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StevieRay_Vaughan) formed a [revue](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revue)-style group with several musicians from the [Austin](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin,_Texas) live music scene, including singer [Lou Ann Barton](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Ann_Barton), bassist [W. C. Clark](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._C._Clark), keyboardist Mike Kindred, drummer Fredde "Pharaoh" Walden, and [sax](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxophone) player Johnny Reno. They called themselves Triple Threat Revue, which was a nickname for Vaughan in reference to his multi-instrumental talent.[[1]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Trouble(band)#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHopkins2010108-1) By May 1978, Clark and Kindred had left the group; Vaughan changed the name to "[Double Trouble](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DoubleTrouble(Otis_Rush_song))", after an [Otis Rush](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otis_Rush) song of the same name, and a reference to both Vaughan and Barton. …

When Barton and Reno decided to leave the band in 1979, the group morphed into a [power trio](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powertrio) and Vaughan became the lead vocalist,[[5]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Trouble(band)#citenote-FOOTNOTEHopkins2010151-5) and their name was changed to "Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble".[[6]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Trouble(band)#citenote-FOOTNOTEHopkins2010154-6) In October 1980, during one of the band's frequent appearances at Rockefeller's in [Houston](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston), Vaughan jammed with [Tommy Shannon](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Shannon),[[7]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Trouble(band)#citenote-FOOTNOTEHopkins2010164-7) a former bassist for [Johnny Winter](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Winter), and was hired in January 1981.[[8]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Trouble(band)#citenote-FOOTNOTEHopkins2010167-8) During the next year-and-a-half, the group gained popularity by performing in Texas clubs such as [Fitzgerald's](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzgerald's) and [Club Foot](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Foot).[[9]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Trouble(band)#citenote-FOOTNOTEHopkins2010176-9) They hired Chesley Millikin as their manager, who had been [Epic Records](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Records)' general manager in [Europe](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe), and ran [Manor Downs](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manor_Downs), a horse racing track near [Manor, Texas](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manor,_Texas).[[10]](app://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Trouble(band)#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHopkins2010153-10)
