Thanks to all of you that made it to the blue lamp on Saturday for the Ray Bonneville show, and thanks to Chris Simmonds for taking the risk and putting the show on. I knew it'd be a great show, and glad so many of you felt the same.
Ray played an awesome pair of sets. I don't normally get so excited about modern players, truthfully- you guys know my tastes run to the older pre-hendrix catalogue and all that scratchy old vinyl. But there's something powerful about the minimalism of his music- a guitar, a harmonica, a pair of feet and a great voice.
If you haven't checked out his music, look here:
And see what you think.
It's the simplicity, the directness of the songs and the complete lack of pretense that I like here. Mellow guy with some honest things to sing about. Not many of them around.
