Dubbed the Father of Rock and Roll…. Robert Johnson

December 9th, 2008 in MusiBlog - All About Music, New Releases | No Comments

…….Only 27 yrs. old at the time of his death (Anyone familiar with the Forever 27 poster, I wonder why he was not included.)

***** Rated 5th on Rolling Stones 100 Greates Guitarist’s of All Time.

As legend would say:

With the desire to a great blues artist, Robert Johnson took his guitar to the crossroads at midnight where he met a large black man (The Devil, Himself.) The man took the guitar from young Johnson and tuned it and in exchange for Johnson’s soul, the man gave him the ability to sing, play and create wonderful blues music for all to hear

Though not something that can be proven by any means, many have wondered if it was all just a joke handed down or if there is some truth to the whole selling you soul, regardless the music Robert Johnson made was legendary

John Pointer – Beatbox Guitarist

September 20th, 2008 in My Favorite Song, New Releases, Online Music | 1 Comment

John PointerI just don’t know if this guy is amazing or if I am just a looser.? You tell me…John Pointer is a guitar player, a singer, and a beat boxer.? Sounds like? weird combo, not to be confused with “Brave Combo” they are a polka band, I said weird combo.? This guy is not a rapper, he just does his own drums, with his mouth that is.? He is a very smooth guitarist who loves hitting harmonics and is a please to watch play, he slaps the guitar to get unique sounds, much like Keller Williams.? He has a soft but smooth voice, close to Jason Mraz and with a little time in front of a crowd I think he can be the next big thing in the music or pop world.? Only time will tell but I’ll be here watching either way.

Any way, I’m not going to spam up the Musiblog with a bunch links, just google or you tube “John Pointer” you will see what I am talking about.? Check out my favorite song of his “The Flame”, it is one of his more developed songs and it is rather catchy, maybe good for the radio?? This guy has more talent in his pinkie finger than in my whole body. I have been following him for a while and he has recently got a couple jobs on commercials.? I think he just needs a good writer and he is on his way to superstardome!? There are not many I can honestly say that about but this guy is the real deal.

I think he is the best thing to come along since sliced bread, for what it’s worth, no not the “Buffalo Springfield” song, I just mean that you may not all agree with me, so its only worth what you make of it.
