It's been a while since Duke left Roomful of Blues; on his own, he still plays a mean guitar-- as on his 2002 album "Living with the Blues" |

Onda

These three Tex-Mex brothers are hot these days-- and it's nice to see some real talent in the pop charts instead of all the pretty boys (& girls) |

What a soulful tune, from a white guy with lots of soul; Hinton died in the 90s-- but he left us some great music |
