Denise LaSalle - My Featured Artist for the week of 8/17/09

Aug 18, 2009 -- 1:01pm

The "Queen Of Soul Blues" is a title that rightly belongs to this survivor who's been recording for over three decades. Not only does she have a phat, supple blues voice but she's a great songwriter and even a producer.

 

 

Tune into the Saturday Blues Brunch this weekend from 8am to 2pm as I feature the music of Denise LaSalle.

Nancy Wilson - Phil Anderson's Featured Artist for the week of 8/10/09

Aug 08, 2009 -- 2:24pm

Make  sure you tune into the Saturday Blues Brunch Saturday Aug. 15th from 8am to 2pm as I feature the music of the legendary Nancy Wilson.                    

Nancy Wilson’s musical style is so diverse that it is hard to classify.  Over the years her repertoire has included pop style ballads, jazz and blues, show tunes and well known standards.  Critics have described her as “a jazz singer,” “a blues singer,” “a pop singer,” and “a cabaret singer.”  Still others have referred to her as “a storyteller,” “a professor emeritus of body language,” “a consummate actress,” and “the complete entertainer.”  Then who is this song stylist (that’s the descriptive title she prefers) whose voice embodies the nuances of gospel, blues, and jazz?  Her colleague and long time friend Joe Williams used to call her “the thrush from Columbus.”
