Q&A with Aussie harp blaster/singer Phil Coyne, echoing the ghosts of ‘50s Chicago blues, with new attitude

"I think blues just one of those things where if I didn’t have it, I would feel there was something missing. Somehow like a hole in the spirit somewhere, and I'd be a lot sadder.

"I think in general young people are looking for something to feed their spirit, with all the technology that we lean on, I think more, and more people are just looking for something real to hold onto. What could be better than the blues? So, it's actually a good time for BLUES and I'm very optimistic that it will. It will keep growing and new audience."

Q&A with British drummer Dylan Howe, best known for leading his jazz groups and many recording credits as a sideman

"I miss the great grooves, chord changes, smart heartfelt lyrics and feeling of what happened in the 50-70’s - especially in black America. I’m not sure if music will really be that important again. Also, the middle 8’s and the virtuosos - where have they gone? (!)"

Q&A with “The Master Chef” Dan Baird, Georgia Satellites' frontman talks about his new project The Chefs

"The traditional rock and roll band already has transitioned to the 50’s jazz combo. Small devoted audiences. Not much of a chance to break through, although it does happen. But the world has moved along. You can cry and wail, but the world has moved along. R&R has joined jazz, swing, dixieland, blues, REAL country in being mostly forgotten by the masses.
