From festivals to open mic nights. The Blues are America's original art form and gift to the world and American Bluesmen and Women lead the vanguard. I am proud to just be a link in the chain." As for Street's background: "I literally learned at the feet of some of the greatest first- and second-generation bluesmen during my time up at Centrum in Port Townsend, Washington. I would have to start with Louisiana Red who not only showed me slide and feeling in so many styles of blues, but also humanity and soul. To know him was to truly love him. John Cephas, the legendary Piedmont King was also more patient with me then perhaps I deserved. Honeyboy Edwards was fascinating. Kenny Sultan, Eddie Pennington. Carey and Lurie Bell, Phil Wiggins. I know I left out so many." www.reverbnation.com/calvinbstreets. Upcoming Calvin B. Streets Shows: House of Blues/L.A., Friday July 13

New Release - He Ain't Done With Me Yet - Calvin B. Streets - Review

I have been listening to the new Calvin B. Streets recording, He Ain't Done With Me Yet, and it's pretty interesting. It begins with a hard driving version of the classic Further On Up The Road where both Street and Brian Montrey flex their electric guitar muscles. Ragtime Fantasy is a cool acoustic based track with Streets taking on a particular vintage sound possibly even using a megaphone. Quick Change is a slow shuffle giving Streets a good opportunity to play his Tele and also features an interesting key solo by Jordan Clover. To The Core, a Streets original brushes delta blues and possibly my favorite track on the cd. Just a man and his axe. Coney Island Rhapsody is another cool rag style blues and very relaxing to listen to. Overall this is an eclectic batch of tunes but a little something for everyone.
