Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...6/26/25

by Danny Coleman - published 2025-06-26
"It was such a cool concept that I jumped at the chance when our record label / manager said, "I'd like you to do a second "Friends & Family" and it was like, "Hey!" Because, to be able to pick from some of the top and best bands of the late '60s and '70s, pick a song and lovingly and respectfully recreate it whether it's exactly the same or we play around with it a little bit is just such a cool idea and so much fun and I loved making the second one."

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...6/19/25

by Danny Coleman - published 2025-06-19
"Reese Wynans, I came to know him when he joined Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble and then after Stevie Ray Vaughn was killed, he played with a lot of people but for the last few years he's primarily toured with Joe Bonamassa. He's an amazing keyboard player and a super guy. I didn't know him prior to working on this record but my friend Mark Prentice who produced it with me suggested we bring him in and it was a perfect call."

Rock On! This Week's Sound Bites...6/12/25

by Danny Coleman - published 2025-06-12
"I was born in Clarksdale in 1957; a boomer! I've lived here all of my life; (Except) for about five years, my wife, we'd just been married a year, we decided to move to Jackson to try to branch out and maybe seek our fame and fortunes; I was in the construction business and did good down there and started a family there but just felt the calling of the Delta," says Bubba O'Keefe the current director of Visit Clarksdale in Clarksdale, Mississippi. "The Delta is a unique place, it has a mystique about it, which I'm sure you've noticed already and our parents were aging and so why are we three hours away raising a family when to us, life was more important and precious to be closer to our family at such an early stage of raising our own family;so, we came back and I just love Clarksdale Mississippi."
