Random Choice from 50 Blues Albums: Spotify Playlists

Door Jon Editor

Ik heb playlists gemaakt op Spotify met bluesmuziek uit USA en NL. Van de jaren 2015-2020. De Amerikaanse komt van charts van RMR en de Nederlandse van de Dutch Blues Foundation. De lijsten zijn samengesteld met titelsongs, the third, the fourth, the fifth, the starters en the album cliffhangers. Reden: om bij het klussen muziek te hebben, dat onafgebroken afspeelt. Bovendien raak je bekend met bluestrends, nieuwe solisten en groepen en interessante teksten. Wellicht wat voor jou? Zoek op Spotify met "random choice from 50".
O ja: onwaarschijnlijk wat er van de lijsten al is te vinden op Spotify.

Blues Hall of Famer Henry Gray Dead at 95

Louisiana blues singer and piano player Henry Gray died on Monday February 17, 2020 in hospice care.
His death was confirmed via a post on his official Facebook page made by his great-grandson.
"It is with great sadness that I formally announce that my Great Grandfather Henry Gray has transitioned. My family and I appreciate every prayer, every donation, every smile, and every word of encouragement that you have given throughout his more than 70 year career.
Thank you all."

Gray was a musician for over seven decades, performing all over America, Europe and Japan. He appeared at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival 39 times, and also made appearances at Montreux Jazz Festival, King Biscuit Blues Festival, and the Chicago and Baton Rouge blues festivals.
Even after surviving a collapsed lung and mild heart attack, Gary continued to play at the Time Out Lounge in Baton Rouge every Tuesday night for three years.
