Great stuff!

This is one of Red’s best. Your article piqued my interest, as I have been a fan of Louisiana Red for years. About to go to Amazon to check it out, I did a search of my extensive digital blues collection and waddiya know? I don’t remember how I got it, but the file is dated 2/4/2010. I’m listening to it now as I type. It is young Red at his best. Thanks for reminding me of this album.

Before the show, we took Red’s wife & Bernie’s wife to a favorite ice cream place a couple doors up. The bigger treat was Red. My husband feel in love with his playing, his aura, you get the picture. After that, he quickly started buying his albums & we’re sad he’s gone. A great player & great person.

When I saw the headline ‘Ride on Red’ I thought you might be covering ‘the red kelly channel’ on youtube, where host red kelly of the ‘soul detective’, ‘holy ghost’, ‘a side’ and ‘b side’ blogs is currently on a blues video tour of the south. check it out.

Here’s Rory doing an acoustic solo of it at the German Rockpalast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mo_pGH5i6g
