When it rains it pours...

Blues diva Ruth Brown passed away last week. Today, we learn that blues legend Robert Lockwood Jr has also been taken by the grim reaper. The Blue Shoe Times has extensives bios of both artists. Time to dig out your early Little Walter records to listen to Robert Lockwood Jr's distinctive jazzy backing, and even if (like me) the lyrics of Boom, Boom, Out go the Lights, make you uneasy, you can focus on the guitar playing and admire the talent that was and is no longer.
