Hi again, blues is a great tradition of american music which has followers all over the
world and up here in canada to, so I was thinking I,ed ask this question, can you folks
tell me if you,ve put a listen on an album by colin james,named national steel and whats
your thoughts? He,s a canadian who played with steve ray and many others along the
way and personally I think it,s a very good cut, the mans got the blues all through him.
Is he well known down south and does this cd get much play.

I always liked Colin James; I don't know why he didn't get more press down here in the States. I think he was overshadowed by some of the guys he played with (SRV, as you mentioned).

I haven't heard Colin James' name in a long time. Glad you mentioned him. He is now tuned-in and jammin on the computer. Thanks alexander-57
Keep Jammin! Enjoy Life!

One of the great modern blues players: Kevin Moore.

Though some know of him, he is highly underrated as a blues man.

Also, almost all the players with Blind Pig Records and Aligator Records.
