First off a big thank you again to the town of Port Royal, South Carolina and The Arts Council of Beaufort County for bringing the blues to the streets of Port Royal another fine, fine show.

This week it was the opportunity to see Ms. Lauren Mitchell and her band from Sarasota FL. I had met Lauren last year at Jack Sullivan‘s place in Bradenton, and then saw her perform at this years’ International Blues Challenge. So when we learned she was gonna be a mere 30 minute drive from us we headed northeast to see her show.

I've recently been asked by a few people to talk about the new album.  It seems everyone wants to know the story behind our decision to record a live performance instead of going back into the studio. So I'll let you in on some of the thought process ... We knew it was  time to release another album and even though we've been working hard on writing some new original material for a fab studio release, recording in the studio, an artist can loose a little of the power of a live show.
