Eric is a personal friend of mine. It’s not just his music that is awesome, he is an awesome person as well. He is very laid back and down to earth. I’m so glad to see him make it finally. As Eric would say, “Keep on keepin’ on.” Also he is an artist. I bought his first painting a week before Hurricane Katrina hit. I am so proud to own his first sold painting. Good luck in all that you do Eric. All my love to you and Sarah. You know where I am. LET’S GO TOURIN’ BRO!!!!! LOL!!!!

I have not had a song stir up the emotion in me like “lay back down” has. Have you ever heard a song for the first time just make you close your eyes and cry with emotion that has been there down deep just waitin to come out. goddamn good, that what it was.

hey

just so yer square

and not to nitpick

but Eric Lindell resides in New Orleans, and has found some success there in that music mecca

but he started playing the blues in Sonoma County CA, and then went to NYC for a spell

I don’t know of a blog that’s focused on current blues. All of the current blues I’m interested in fits pretty easily in the scope of the “roots”-oriented blogs I follow. Grant Alden’s recent post about the blues’ place in No Depression has some interesting things to say about the blues today and one might abstract from that why there aren’t any obvious blues blogs.
