when do tickets go on sale?
Truly inspired choices - especially Charlie Watts -
Another "Riding With the King" style pairing I'd like to see would be Green & Otis Rush -
As I've said elsewhere, their pairings on "Hot Foot Powder" were highlights for me -
Everyone talks about B.B. King's influence on Green, but no one ever mentions Rush - Green's single string style is King inspired no doubt, but his use of sustain, the emotion and the feeling are pure Otis Rush -
After his recordings with the various labels owned by the Bihari Brothers (RPM, Crown etc) in the late fifties, King's style was much more pop oriented - Otis Rush was and still is, deep blues -
From the Bluesbreakers, the smoking "So Many Roads, So Many Trains" to "Black Magic Woman" (a beautiful tribute to Rush's style) to "It Takes Time" Green has repeatedly drawn from that well -
