I happened to catch a brief news item the other day that Johnny Winter had died a few days back and it brought home once again how little airplay blues music [and I don't mean the stuff which has now hijacked the label of "RnB"] receives here in the UK. I was actually surprised that his passing even got a mention.

Apart from the Paul Jones Show on Radio 2, [and very rare items on Jools Holland] that's about it unless you go online - which is a pity when you know how much excellent blues music is being ignored by those in a position of power to regulate what’s broadcast. Interesting too that there was an article in the press a few weeks back about Buddy Guy asking the main US radio stations to play a bit more blues music so it seems as if they've got the same problems over there – which is even more worrying when you consider that’s the origin of a lot of the stuff

Anyway - any blues music fans out there might like to check out a website which I stumbled onto the other day http://www.bluesmusicdirectory.co.uk and which is really rather impressive to say the least ...

I love me some Blues and Blues Rock. There is no finer music (even if I like more besides).
