The Black Keys have shared the music video for their rendition of R.L. Burnside’s “Poor Boy a Long Way From Home,” off the duo’s covers LP Delta Kream.
Like the video for their take on John Lee Hooker’s “Crawling Kingsnake” and their virtual Late Show appearance in May, the Black Keys and their band — including guitarist Kenny Brown and bassist Eric Deaton, Burnside’s former sidemen — perform the track at Jimmy Duck Holmes’ Blue Front Café in Bentonia, Mississippi. The Blue Front is the oldest active juke joint in the U.

Even legends have to start somewhere.
For the Doors — the psych rock pioneers who pushed the limits of minds and music with tracks like “Light My Fire,” “Love Me Two Times” and “L.A. Woman”— it can all be traced to the London Fog on Los Angeles’ Sunset Strip. Just months after forming, the nascent group was offered a residency at the down-at-the-heels club in early 1966. Having played little more than the odd college party for their UCLA film school friends, the London Fog became the Doors’ home base and testing ground. Six nights a week, from 9 p.m. to 2 a.

"A good attitude and a cup of coffee will get you through just about anything." That's great advice, but it means double coming from Charlie Musselwhite. The 71-year-old harmonica and guitarist is a true living legend of the blues (he was reportedly the model for Dan Aykroyd's character in The Blues Brothers and has played with everyone from The Blind Boys of Alabama to Bonnie Raitt), and one whose life is marked by the kinds of twists and tragedies that you'd expect from, well, a blues song. Musselwhite is up for what - should he win - will be...

Joe Lee “Big Joe” Williams did things his own way. Specializing in rough-edged, raw blues in the old-school Delta style, he was an important shaper of the 1950s Chicago electric blues sound without changing his own style very much along the way. His forceful, rugged way of playing and singing allowed him to compete with the extra amplification on his own terms, thus putting him in position to be influential on the roots-oriented folk-blues movement when the 1960s rolled around. Like many other Delta bluesmen (though technically he wasn’t from the Delta but from Crawford in eastern Mississippi), Williams drew heavily on the style of Charley Patton. But he achieved a unique sound by reinventing his instrument, modifying regular six-string guitars with extra tuners to make his own nine-string version, sometimes accompanying himself with a kazoo and a makeshift percussion instrument consisting of a pie plate and a...
