Da' US and Canadian Blooz Selection
These Amercians, they're goddamn' everywhere. Anyone would have though they invented the blues. Still we appreciate their sterling efforts to surpass British Bluescians (Oh come on guys i'm only joking!).

Ok, no great apologies here, but this site is basically orientated to British/Irish artists and there's well enough people catering for US and Canadian players, but it would still be re-miss to not include some of the gems floating past my transom. So just consider this a little, very personal reminder of some stuff, well you just gotta' have or hear for one reason or another.
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble
Epic - Mammoth project which includes 54 tracks, 34 previously unreleased on three CD's and one DVD EP which features 5 new cuts from Austin City Limits 1989 performance in 5.1 surround sound. 72 Page booklet and all 24 bit mastered from source tapes - even i'm sold on it and I thought i'd heard enough SRV to last this lifetime....
