Podcast appearances and mentions of john d'amato

When early spring rolls around to Memphis, it's time to let the cat out. In this particular sense, it means the two cats that live with Ric like to get outside. But there is a funny illusion to this practice. Also a conversation and new music with a long time friend of the show, John D'Amato. He joins the conversation via the miracle of the internet to debut some new music as well as some interesting tales from the studio.  NEXT WEEK: Eddie Cotton

SHOW #326 Michael Frank was entranced by the Blues as a teen and moved to Chicago after college.  There he met many of the Bluesmen living and performing there and began playing harp with Honeyboy Edwards.  He also managed Honeyboy and started Earwig Records in 1978.  I’ll talk with Michael about his journey and the progress of the Blues along the way. John D’Amato struggled with illness as a child, and his sister’s guitar became a constant companion.  By the time he was in his early teens, many were recognizing his talents.  His first album, Ain’t No Big Deal, was widely applauded and earned him stage time with B.B. King and an appearance on Joe Louis Walker’s Hellfire.  John and I will talk about his life and career as we listen to tunes from Born Blue-The Sun Sessions. Ivas John comes out of the Chicagoland area and music came into his life through his dad.  Ivas and his band have become a staple throughout the Midwest and they just released their new album, Good Days A Comin,’  I’ll talk with Ivas about his life and career as we listen to some music. Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne returns to The Couch with his latest release, Jumpin’ and Boppin’, which was released on Friday.  We’ll talk with Kenny about what he has been up to since his last visit and we’ll listen to tunes from the new album.

ScreaminFX returns with "Uverbia" It's not just a pedal, it's a Machine! Plus the music of: Julian Sass, 3 Wise Monkeys, The Road Vikings, Wo Fat and John D'Amato

Chicago Slim is here to talk about the Blues, guitar and respect for the art form and the people who gave it to us. Plus the music of Julian Sass and John D'Amato
