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.

Baby-Face Willette might be from New Orleans; I know his music hits some New Orleans licks.

B-3 and Hank Crawford:

I always loved Hank Crawford.  Sharp dresser.

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.

Son House---

The most poignant:

First, "I got a letter this morning",  no phone call,  then, "grabbed up my suitcase and took off down the road",   no car, no bus,  took off walking.

Those were the times they lived in.   The music is so authentic.
I feel sadness and pride.

Cheers
