Story number 2 is from our friends at Blues Blast magazine it’s a fantastic interview with the great Delbert McClinton. If you don’t know Delbert you need to get out and find some as he’s one of the best singers around and a very good Harp player as well. In the interview Delbert talks about recording his new album Blind, Crippled and Crazy and some stories from his more than 50 years on the road.

The last thing this week is from Rolling Stone Magazine; it’s a list of 20 songs that turn 20 years old this year. Here’s part of the list:
