Tomiko Dixon, blues singer and granddaughter of late blues great Willie Dixon with R&B legends Marshall Thompson (left) and Gene Chandler. | James Foster/For the Sun-Times It was a day after Marie Dixon , widow of blues great Willie Dixon, died, and several legends were gathered in a downtown hotel in support of a granddaughter, Tomiko Dixon. There was R&B legend Gene �Duke of Earl� Chandler, who is Tomiko Dixon�s amore, and her godfather, Marshall Thompson, founder of the legendary Chi-Lites, credited with birthing a generation of R&B vocal groups. There was her godmother, longtime artist developer Helen Wooten, who�s worked with likes of R. Kelly, Da Brat and Darnell Jones; her harmonica player, Jeff Stone, whose Zack Harmon Band was the rage in the mid-2000s after winning the International Blues Challenge, and her lawyer, Jay B. Ross, who represented her grandfather as well as Muddy Waters and likely more blues acts than any other entertainment attorney. Wh...

New Album Art For Billy Don Burns - Graveyard In Montgomery Would like to say thank you to everyone who has really dug this illustration for Billy Don Burns new album cover, Graveyard In Montgomery and all the shares. We thought on it and realized that maybe we should give away the original art for the album as a way to say thank you to the fans for sticking by him through thick and thin. So this Friday, once we announce the pre-sale, every physical album order sold through our webstore will be entered into a drawing to win the original pen and ink sketch. Sure you can wait to stream it for free on Youtube or Spotify, but if you want something to live on past your next Appleoid Omega malfunction, purchase the album and maybe this art along with BD's story about his travels to that infamous graveyard and much more can potentially hang on your wall and reverberate from your speakers for years to come.

All of the press and hype surrounding the music gear industry follows a similar pattern every year. New products get announced at NAMM in January, unleashing a wave of buzz that ripples through forums and YouTube channels, and ultimately into shopping carts of websites like Reverb.com. Smaller brands often release gear later in the year to less initial fanfare, building their reputations on merit rather than marketing. You see this a lot with boutique pedals and guitars where an off-the-cuff artist endorsement or a single demo video can do as much for a product's popularity as any trade show press release. Here is a look back at both the big releases and sleeper hits that generated the most buzz in the music gear industry in 2016. Korg Minilogue The Korg Minilogue was easily the most talked-about synth at NAMM this year, and a steady stream of praise has followed since. Analog synths are as en vogue as ever, and this portable keyboard strikes a perfect target zone in t...

When legends release new material, it can be quite disappointing. For instance, when Metallica released Load, most heavy #metal fans were let down immensely. The crunch was gone, the complexity was all but absent, and years of over touring had taken a toll on singer James Hetfield much sooner than his age would suggest. While the mighty Met have managed to redeem themselves since then, thankfully # Testament has yet to release a slab of sub par material, and thankfully their newest, � #Brotherhood of the Snake � keeps that tradition in tact. If anything, with guitarist Eric Peterson at the songwriting helm, they may have just released the most exciting metal album of the year, if not of their career. The Brotherhood of the Snake The title track is nothing short of a drumming journey into complexity, style, and panache. This is highlighted in the first breakdown following the chorus of, � Brotherhood of the Snake �. The signature half growl/half shout with an extra helping of...

                             Pinecone Fletcher talks about why he likes cigar-box guitars and what drew him to the craft. Andrew Thayer / Staff Video Bluesman Pinecone Fletcher finds joy in re-creating instrument for 21st century Back when cigars were plentiful and money was not � especially during the Civil War, for example, or the Great Depression � some musicians decided to work with what they had close at hand and built their own cigar-box guitars. The concept was p retty simple: Cobble together a box, a stick and some strings, then tune it up and start playing. The raw, organic sound proved to be much different than what a store-bought instrument would deliver, giving a different twist to blues, country and folk tunes. As Americana and roots music have undergone a revival in the last 15 years, led by the 2000 film �O Brother Where Are Th...

Recreating the wild wild west out of discarded farm equipment, South Dakota-based artist John Lopez �s amazing metal sculptures will blow your mind! Check them out below: Source: John Lopez Studio Sculptor John Lopez is a product of a place. His people�s ranches are scattered along the Grand River in northwestern South Dakota�not far from where Sitting Bull was born and died. Not far from where thousands of buffalo were killed during the westward expansion of settlers and gold miners. In the bone yards of Tyrannosaurus rex and grizzly bears. Since farmers and ranchers populated this chunk of reservation land, real cowboys have been roping and branding and sheering and haying and harvesting. Source: John Lopez Studio  John�s own forte lies in gentling colts and perfecting their bloodlines�and he started his celebration of them by sculpting in clay. Capturing every nuance, every muscle, in this land where business is still conducted over a cup of coffee and �neighboring� ...

Needless to say, we hit it off very well with the Bongzilla boys.Actually Dixie played on one of their albums and did a tour with them. Me and Michael (Pee Wee) really hit it off and i firmly believe i have a new brother in him for life. Touring with them,renting their back line and all around working together made life on this tour much easier. Bongzilla is still out there touring so get out and see them and buy some merch if you can to support this hard working band. I have a few individual stories to tell but I'm just typing some thoughts and observations from this recent 8 day jaunt through the west. I want to be sure i tell the stories i have as they actually happened and get permission from all those involved so i don't step on any toes or piss anyone off. I never piss anyone off. HA!!

Heavyweight 8 Ounce Leather Tool Bag For Your Motorcycle, from Rusty Knuckles For a long time we had been plotting on our own style of tool bag. We wanted a clean and classic design that could compliment any bike with flowing lines and choice style. Our concept is based on numerous sketches and going through our own tools to find the right dimensions and fork widths. These bags were made to fit wide glide, narrow glide, sissy bars, attached to the frame or a variety of other options due to the flexibility on how they are mounted with heavy duty zip ties. The leather we use is a shoulder hide that comes in 8 oz weight and the options are currently for Chestnut Brown, Dark Brown, Black and Ox Blood Red. We do have some customization options on these bags, so get in touch with us. The D Rings are a great compliment to the bag as buckles tend to rattle and this is a quick cinch solution to strapping tight and rolling. Each bag is hand cut, riveted and sewn in our shop to insure...
