| Posted: 19 Oct 2011 03:21 PM PDT  Carlos Alberto Santana Barragán (born July 20, 1947) is a Mexican-American rock guitarist. Santana became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered rock, salsa and jazz fusion. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music.  Santana When I was lived in Ft Benning (1970) I met a cute boy named Mike who played in a band... I went to see him play one night at a teen club. He and his band played "Black Magic Woman". I fell in love with the song and Carlos Santana... Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and 3 Latin Grammy Awards.  |
| CHRIS ISAAK: SUN RECORDS AND BEYOND Posted: 19 Oct 2011 08:07 AM PDT  Into the Sun Sample Tunes The only singer who could attempt such an album as Beyond the Sun would be Chris Isaak. To attempt to cover Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis would be a crazy move for a lesser mortal. Chris however can sing these tunes with ease.... The album is now available in my Amazon Store below... Chris Isaak - "Beyond the Sun" Album Trailer - Available 10/18 from VanguardVideo on Vimeo.  |
| MAYER HAWTHORNE: BEST MUSIC CAME OUT OF MOTOWN Posted: 19 Oct 2011 01:12 AM PDT  Mayer Hawthorne Today I received two messages from readers. Both advised me to check out Mayer Hawthorne as he is from Ann Arbor and a "retro" vocalist. Mayer's music is very much a throw back to Soul, Motown, New Wave, and a bit of Disco. In other words... This cat can sing! And.... often Mayer would play all the instruments on his demos. Mayer's father played the best music of the Motor City for young Mayer growing up. Cool Dad! Mayer is labeled "retro" because his sound could have been a perfect fit for the massive Retro music timeline of 1966-1974 "Most of the best music ever made came out of Detroit," claims the singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, who counts Isaac Hayes, Leroy Hutson, Mike Terry, and Barry White among his influences, but draws the most inspiration from the music of Smokey Robinson, Curtis Mayfield, and the legendary songwriting and production trio of Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland, and Eddie Holland Jr. Mayer Hawthorne Stones Throw label head Peanut Butter Wolf said, "He (Mayer) showed me two songs and I didn't understand what I was listening to," Wolf recalls. "I asked him if they were old songs that he did re-edits of – I couldn't believe they were new songs and that he played all the instruments." Take a look at Mayer on Daryl Hall's Live from Daryl's House.. He is absolutely amazing and he is one of the best musicians to come out of Motown in a very long time...
