The Colorado Sound S9|EP22 2015

I got really lucky this past week.  I got enough time off that I was able to go out and sit in an audience.  Or two.  Or three …. or four?!

Mrs Goat and I managed to take in the CSO “Turn Over the Keys” on Thursday night, while Friday night was Jaden Carlson at Oskar Blues in Lyons, Saturday evening was the grand opening celebration at Might Fine Production and recording studio .. and Sunday we got in a little bit of Pete Kartsounes with Michael Kirkpatrick (Telluride Troubadour of the Year Winner 2014). at Homemade Liquids and Solids in Longmont.

pics from the CSO show and from MFP.

No new music shares this week.  Sorry.

The Colorado Sound S9 EP20 May 2015

B.B. King passing away overshadowed everything this past week. Like other icons his legacy and his influence permeates much of our culture.  One simply does not talk about blues without B.B. King being present.  And of course, there’s a Denver connection … or two.

If you know nothing else about B.B. King you know The Thrill is Gone, the hit that launched him into both the  blues and rock and roll stratosphere.  The Thrill is Gone was produced by Bill Szymczyk, who for a brief moment would co-own Denver based Tumbleweed Records, and was a radio dj.  He also produced the first album recorded at Caribou Ranch, Joe Walsh’s Barnstorm, during the time that Joe was living in the Denver area.

Connection number two:  B.B. King and Big Head Todd & the Monsters – Crossroad Blues from 100 Years of Robert Johnson … a duet with Todd Park Mohr.

RIP Mr. King
