CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Hal Horowtiz Recommends:It’s the 17 annual Blues Is Alright Tour, this year featuring performances by J-Wonn, Pokey Bear, Tucka, Chick Rogers, Ronnie Bell and King George. They are described as “blues legends” although fans of the genre might find that description overly generous. These performers steer towards a commercial, somewhat retro soul sounds with large helpings of the upbeat funk Johnny “Guitar” Watson took to the bank in the late ’70s and a bit of hip-hop to attract the youngsters. They probably turn up the heat live, but this is pretty far removed from anything most would consider blues. - HH
