The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
Even if you are only dimly aware of such names as Ruth Brown and B.B. King and Dr. John, it is satisfying to see them greet each other backstage, to hug and kiss and offer praise of one another's talents. It's like the Academy Awards, except that...read the complete Lightning in a Bottle (2004) review at The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)

For anyone who loves the blues this DVD is a must. Taped live at a concert and following the evolution of the blues from days of slavery to the present, the music and performers are terrific. The back stories and rehearsal scenes are as good as the ...

This is the best Blues show that I have ever seen. It tells the story literally with Huge Megatron TV's showing how the blues came about and the struggles of the Black Man. The performances are from some of the greatest Blues Singers in the world. Martin ...
