Guitar_Women_-_In_Session_at_Studio_211__CBC__Toronto__November_13__2012

Suzie Vinnick, Donna Grantis and Christine Bougie are three Toronto women who are known for their songwriting skills and musicianship. As part of CBC Music's celebration of Guitar Month, we thought it would be fun to invite the ladies into the studio to show off their guitar skills.

It turned out to be a fun session for them as well. Not only will you hear the ladies perform their own songs but you can also catch them trading riffs as they collaborated with each other.

Check out some choice blues and jazz guitar with a ladies' touch.

John Mayall - Live at The Centre Vancouver

More blues aboard thanks to The rippin' Frog, this time with John Mayall in Vancouver.

John Mayall - Live at The Centre Vancouve

British born blues legend John Mayall got a very warm welcome from over a thousand devoted fans in the plush surroundings of The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts on Remembrance Day 2009. An obviously delighted Mayall returned the love with a three-hour long show, some of which is highlighted in this special CBC Concerts on Demand offering. With over fifty albums released during his career, Mayall is one of the most prolific and celebrated artists in the blues genre. This show featured music ranging from the 1966 "Beano" album, a classic, that famously included a young Eric Clapton on guitar, to his 2009 release on Eagle Records, called "Tough". He has lived in California for decades but on June 10, 2005 Queen Elizabeth named John Mayall an officer of the Order of the British Empire at the same time that Brian May of Queen and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin also received the same honour.

Joe Murphy's Blues Review - Live At Tall Ships Festival Halifax (CBC Podcast) - 2012

Joe Murphy's Blues Review - Live At Tall Ships Festival Halifax.
Credit for this goes to Gio, a buddy of the rippin frog, our sharing bluesman.

 

Sometimes it is the harmonica that plays the blues best, and for 40 years Joe Murphy has been proving it! Johnny Lee Hooker had him on stage for a few nights, and Dutch and Garrett Mason seem to have had him on speed dial.

Joining Murphy in this concert are The Water Street Blues Band - essentially a "who's who" of the Halifax blues scene with John Eyman on guitar, Greg "Fish" Fancy on bass, Barry Cooke at the mic and on keyboards and, drummer Gary Potts.

Percy Strother - Live At KueppersKlub, Cologne

Percy Strother shared here by the rippin frog who got this rarity from a fellow blues collector. Thank you both!

Percy Strother - Live At KueppersKlub, Cologne
FM Broadcast 
1998-04-21

Percy Strother, inspired by the likes of Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howlin' Wolf and Wilson Pickett, has a tremendous "power". Percy is backed by keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and occasionally the harmonica to create a unique mixture of blues, R&B and Memphis soul. Percy's warm, rich baritone vocals have earned awards for "Best Blues song" ("A good woman is hard to find") and was runner up of the "Best Blues Album" with his debut CD of the same title (Living Blues awards 1992).

Percy was born in Vicksburg, Mississippi in 1946 and started singing at the age of nine. Already, during the work in the fields, his talents were recognized by the people around him; "just sing son, we'll pick the cotton". In the sixties he moved north and by the way of Wisconsin he eventually ended up in Minneapolis, where he became one of the leading figures in the blues scene of Minneapolis/St. Paul.

The electrifying sound of the blues has never sounded so powerful and alive as with Percy's mixture of Chicago rooted blues with R'n'B and soul influences...
