Join The BluesRock Revolution!
Starting in the late 60's Woodstock era, a new sound began to form.
It was borrowed from early American blues artists like Sonny Boy Williamson, Sister Rosetta Sharpe, Lead Belly, Memphis Minny and most famously, Robert Johnson.
It was borrowed from early American blues artists like Sonny Boy Williamson, Sister Rosetta Sharpe, Lead Belly, Memphis Minny and most famously, Robert Johnson.
During the 70's and 80's, this new blues sound began to take shape.
BluesRock artists like Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush, Humble Pie, Pat Travers, Foghat, Robin Trower, Montrose, Jeff Healey, Colin James, Stevie Ray Vaughn and many more began to blend classic blues riffs with power chords that took the genre to a whole new level.
Since then, the soul of bluesrock music has been pushed aside by slickly produced, formulaic, new country songs and computerized pop and rap music.
But maybe that's the way it should be.
Blues music and rock and roll was and always will be "rebel" music.
It's not mindless music for the masses.
It's for the hard working men and women who face each daily struggle and challenge with soulful strength, "scars of life" experience and spiritual wisdom.
That's why this new killer version of "Crossroads" is my salute to you.. the warriors of the BluesRock Revolution.

"Listened to it twice today. I didn't want it to end. Incredible guitar playing and the rock/blues sound was, "music to my ears". I know it's a cover, but you played it like it was your own. Cheers" - Frank H.
Crossroads Blues
This is the quintessential guitar song. It was originally written by Robert Johnson in 1936. The song became legendary as the telling of Robert's "selling his soul to the devil" story. Eric Clapton later shortened the title to "Crossroads" and gave it the popularity it so rightly deserved. Whether the story is true or not, no-one will ever know. One thing's for sure... This song is at the heart of every bluesrock guitar player.This Ain't Your Daddy's Version
From the searing guitar leads, soul searching vocals, deep bass lines and seductive drum groove, you'll quickly realize this is a brand new "devil's spin" on this classic blues song.Wait Till You Hear The Rest Of The Album
