A few ground rules which I should really have got out of the way at the beginning of this series.
The artist requires to have three separate real, actual and bona fide names so:
- No Little, Big , Blind, Reverend or Sister which rules out many but not all Blues and Gospel stars.Don't worry though I have plans for another series whereby some of them will be included
- No initials - so no O.V Wright, k.d lang , K.T Tunstall or indeed Mark E Smith
- No nicknames - so no Bobby "Blue" Bland or Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and thankfully no Badly Drawn Boy
As previously stated this may well result in a number of country artists featuring.
But not exclusively and today the Blues sneak in courtesy of John Lee Hooker - a man who needs no introduction or indeed preamble so you are not getting one.
We'll let the music do the talking
Did Billie Jean King record any songs?
ReplyDeleteComment of the week from George! Top tunes.
ReplyDeleteGod but you make it hard for a fella to keep up sometimes. I may have missed this but...are you saying solo artists only? What about say Green on Red, Animals That Swim, Mott The Hoople? Are they out or in? And then there's Loudon Wainright III - does he qualify? And Nils Lofgren's Grin - does that qualify? Let's face it, you haven't thought this through have you? Ha ha.
