David “Honeyboy” Edwards was born June 28, 1915 in Shaw, Mississippi. Honeyboy is one of the last living links to Robert Johnson, and one of the last original acoustic Delta blues players. He is a living legend, and his story is truly part of history. He is the real deal. Honeyboy was a part of many of the seminal moments of the blues. As Honeyboy writes in “The World Don’t Own Me Nothing”, “…it was in ’29 when Tommy Johnson come down from Crystal Springs, Mississippi. He was just a little guy, tan colored, easy-going; but he drank a whole lot. At nighttime, we’d go there and listen to Tommy Johnson play.” Honeyboy continues, ” Listening to Tommy, that’s when I really learned something about how to play guitar.” Honeyboy’s life has been intertwined with almost every major blues legend, including Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, Big Joe Williams, Rice “Sonny Boy Williamson” Miller, Howlin’ Wolf, Peetie Wheatstraw, Sunnyland Slim, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Big Walter, Little Walter, Magic Sam, Muddy Waters, and … well, let’s just say the list goes on darn near forever! In 1942, Alan Lomax recorded Honeyboy in Clarksdale, Mississippi for the Library of Congress. He recorded a total of fifteen sides of Honeyboy’s music. Honeyboy didn’t record again commercially until 1951, when he recorded “Who May Your Regular Be” for Arc Records. Honeyboy also cut “Build A Cave” as ‘Mr. Honey’ for Artist. Moving to Chicago in the early fifties, Honeyboy played small clubs and street corners …

Heres a question: what does Robert Nighthawk, Earl Hooker, Canned Heat and the Monkees have in common? The answer is pianist Ernest Lane whos played with them all in a long and varied music career. It would be some fifty years after playing on his first record that Lane cut 2004s The Blues Is Back!, his first full length record. Growing up in Clarksdale Lane had the right background for a bluesman; his father was a barrelhouse pianist, his boyhood friend was Ike Turner and Pinetop Perkins was a friend of the family who showed the youngster a thing or two. Ike fell in love with the piano when he peered in at The King Biscuit Boys, featuring boogie pianist Joe Willie Pinetop Perkins, rehearsing in the basement of his buddy Ernest Lanes house. As he recalled: Man, I never seen nobodys fingers move that fast on a piano, he said. I didnt even know what a piano was then, and I saw that dude, man. He was playing piano, and they was rehearsin at John Lanes house. Ernest Lane and I was the same age, and we was comin home from school and we heard this noise. And we went over there, and boy, these guys-this guy was playing piano so fast, man, I couldnt hardly see his fingers! And I said, Damn, man! I wanna do that! Lane said, Me too! Anyway, we started talkin to Pinetop, and he started teaching us different little boogie-woogie things. When he was just a teenager Lane hooked up with legendary slide guitarist Robert Nighthawk. Nighthawk eventually took him to Chicago where his solid …
