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.

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

Well, O-10,
I guess these young people are getting in the way of people trying to "earn a living".

Carolina Chocolate Drops:

Love her, and like the music.   The guy's outfits seem to be a little cartoonish.

I have several of their CDs.   "STILL I RISE"  is their attempt at the Delta Blues.   Pretty good CD.   Can't find it on youtube.

Nice clip.
