CD
REVIEW: Lea's
Lunchroom ain't the only thing cookin' down in LeCompte, Louisiana.
Resident bluesman Burton Garr has
brewed one powerful CD, Home of the Blues. Click here
for Sonny's review.
JUST SURFING IN? Don't forget to check out Chicago-style, urban back in the alley blues picker Sonny Boy Lee, who, against insurmountable
odds, stubbornly follows Muddy Waters' advice and lets his guitar
notes b-r-e-a-t-h-e .
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN ONLY HIDE FROM
ROYALTIES: More than a few lifetimes after recording "Say Mama"
under the band name of Damon Lee
and the Diablos for Minneapolis based SOMA Records in March 1962, Sonny discovered his
Gene Vincent cover marketed on CD by Netherland label Collector Records on
Minnesota Rockers Vol. I. Mention of the song has also surfaced in Tom Tourville's "Minnesota Rocked!"
discography: "If I had to choose my top 10 favorite Minnesota rockers, this
one's on the list. One smokin' version of 'Say Mama.'"

"I've always felt that blues, rock 'n'
roll and country
are just about a beat apart."
