Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.



Jon Batiste is a musician Rok just introduced me to. From the first notes he played, I knew he was from Louisiana, with out knowing anything else about him.


Here's his bio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Batiste


This is the tune Rok submitted;

It was one I will eagerly add to my collection. I thought I would share this with other music lovers seeking new artists.

Casandra Wilson from "Jackson Mississippi" is one of my favorites, and from what I heard, she still lives there.

Son House, if that ain't the blues I would like to know what is; as one girl I knew would say "Just throw me out in the alley and let me roll with the rest of the tin cans"; that's when she was enjoying the low-down Blues.
To me, "Death Letter Blues" will always be one of the most heart-wrenching recordings from the Delta.  It ain't load-the-dishwasher music - it's riveting and spine-tingling.
