This week I’m very proud to have an interview with Omar Kent Dykes who is the front man for Omar & The Howlers. They have a new two CD set out on Ruf Records called Essential Collection of Omar & The Howlers. It has songs like “Do It For Daddy”, “Bad Seed”, “Border Girl”, and the Omar and Jimmie Vaughan song “Jimmy Reed Highway” and the only thing better than this Essential Collection would be having all eighteen of the CD’s that these songs came from. These are all prime cuts, no fillers at all plus some good live cuts. Omar is going to have you hollering for more.

This weeks show is on Little G Weevil and his new CD The Teaser. The first time I listened to the CD I really liked the nice southern blues style of The Teaser. Little did I know he was not from the south but from Budapest, Hungary he came to the US to become a better blues artist – job well done. Besides the enjoyable music, Little G Weevil is a good guitarist that has really good lyrics like “Real Men Don`t Dance”, “Apple Picker”, and “8.47” which is about how much he was making at a job he once had. Get ready to have a good time with Little G Weevil and The Teaser.

On this weeks show I’ll be talking with Virgil Mc Mahon of the band Virgil & The Accelerators. They are a young British-Blues-Rock band similar in style to the blues explosion of the early seventies in the U.K. In 2011 they released their first CD The Radium and if I had been aware of the CD then, it would have been in my pick for top five CD’s of the year. Please help them by calling any radio station you think would play their style of music and request to hear them. Virgil & The Accelerators- wow what a band.

This week I’m happy to have Mark Nomad back on the show to talk about his newest CD Torch Tones. The last time Mark was on the show we talking about his CD Electric Church, which has one of my favorite songs “Mists of Avalon” on it.
This time out Mark mixes the CD up with electric and acoustic blues. Some of the highlights are “Love U Truly”, “Don’t Say It”, “Poetry In Motion”, and the very beautiful “Gemini Blues”. Just push the play button and you will hear just what I mean.
