I don’t know about you, but “Blues Music” really moves me. I’m talking about slow, bendy, stirring, bluesy blues. I love the way it sounds and I love the way it makes me feel. It’s both electrifying and inspirational.
When it comes to “feeling” the blues… Ronnie Earl is the master.
Ronnie plays music that penetrates your heart. He refers to it as “spiritually uplifting music that heals” and I totally agree. I have all of Ronnie’s CD’s — totaling 249 songs and 23.7 hours on my iPod. Hey…a couple more tunes and I can have a 24-hour Ronnie-Fest!
Here is the opening clip from “Blues Guitar With Soul” the only instructional video Ronnie made. It was originally released on VHS in 1995 and re-released on DVD in 2005.
It’s a timeless recording that worked in 1995 and still works today. Enjoy!
Ronnie Earl fans (and crisp blues guitar fans) would do well to check out Dave Keller from VT. Ronnie had Dave Keller sing, write and play on his most recent 2009 release as well as some tour dates in the NE…and for good reason.
Dave Keller has a new CD out Play for Love. It’s a great mix of soul singing and crisp guitar slinging. About.com named Dave as one of the top six blues artists to watch in 2010. So it’s not only Ronnie who’s impressed.

Just checked out Dave’s site and listened to the clips from his new CD. Great stuff! I have seen the videos of Dave singing with Ronnie Earl on YouTube but his personal site adds a whole new dimension to his talent. Thanks for sharing. -GuitarDaddy
