If you want a peek into the soul of Joe B, this interview is a great place to start. Not that he’s all that mysterious. He plays blues the way he likes, and makes no apologies for it. He weighs in on the state of the blues today and his influences. Not surprising that he traces his lineage back to Clapton, Page, and Leslie West. You can hear it on You and Me (reviewed below).

How about some free blues? 5 full mp3’s from this Chambersburg, PA based blues band. Skyla fronts the band, sings, and plays some mean telecaster blues guitar. Something for everyone here: boogie, slow blues, swing… Oh yeah!
