Jan Akkerman plays acoustically (1975)

                                                          recorded for Danish TV in 1975.

  Jan Akkerman is a Dutch guitarist who co-founded the progressive rock band Focus and played various genres of music. He won the Edison Award for best album in 1976 and collaborated with many other musicians and artists.

 In late 1973 Akkerman was voted Best Guitar by readers of UK weekly Melody Maker, beating favorites such as John McLaughlin, Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore. Akkerman and Focus were the only ones to challenge the bias toward American and British pop artists. He placed in third a year later in Melody Maker's polls, after Eric Clapton and Steve Howe  from Yes. With manufacturer Framus he helped produce one of the first signature guitar models.

Recorded at Atlantic Records' studios in New York and released in 1974, when Focus was still near the peak of its fame, Tabernakel sold reasonably well at the time, but had been unavailable from the late '70s until 2002, when Wounded Bird Records reissued it in a good-sounding CD edition.

Kelly Joe Phelps (October 5, 1959 – May 31, 2022)


Kelly Joe Phelps  was an American musician and songwriter. His music has been characterized as a mixture of delta blues and jazz

                                                                      Goodby To Sorrow

 Over a career that spanned four decades, Kelly Joe Phelps expanded the parameters of modern blues through his strong commitment to literary songs and his expressive yet simple guitar stylings. His roots as a jazz bassist in Seattle and Portland informed the idiosyncratic style of his guitar work, and he went on to launch a successful solo career as a singer/songwriter in the mid-1990s 

                                                      God Don,t Ever Change

 Phelps was raised in a music-loving household in Sumner, Washington, near Tacoma. His father, an air conditioning and refrigeration specialist, played guitar, fiddle, piano, and harmonica, while his mother played guitar and banjo. In addition to the country and blues music he heard his parents playing, Phelps became interested in jazz during his teenage years, particularly artists like Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, and Miles Davis.

                                                                  Down To The Praying

 Playing guitar since the age of 12, he soon took up the bass and worked his way into Seattle's jazz scene. After moving down to Portland, Oregon in 1980, he found equally vibrant jazz and blues scenes and spent the better part of the next ten years playing in small jazz groups. While jazz remained a passion, at home and in private, he would continue to play guitar, occasionally experimenting with a slide to coax bluesier tunes from his instrument.

 
 Old Man (Neil Young)
  By the early '90s, Phelps had become enamored of blues greats like Mississippi Fred McDowell and Robert Pete Williams and converted himself into a blues guitarist, playing his acoustic guitar laid flat on his lap with a heavy slide bar. His solo debut, Lead Me On, was released by Portland indie Burnside Records in 1994. Featuring little more than guitar, vocals, and a percussive stomp box, it featured a mix of originals and interpretations of traditional blues songs and garnered enough national attention to attract the Rykodisc label, which released his follow-up, Roll Away the Stone, in 1997.                                                                    

                                                                         Hard Time Killing Floor
 /Phelps continued to build on his growing success with albums like 1999's Shine Eyed Mister Zen and 2001's all-original Sky Like a Broken Clock, the latter of which made a strong showing on the Billboard blues chart. After 2003's Slingshot Professionals and a highly rated 2005 live collection, Tap the Red Cane Whirlwind, Phelps' label, Rykodisc, folded and joined the roster of esteemed roots label Rounder Records. His lone recording for the label, 2006's Tunesmith Retrofit, proved to be another career high, reaching number five on the blues chart. Already something of a maverick, Phelps' next release was something of a left turn. Atmospheric and more experimental than his previous work, 2009's Western Bell consisted of 11 guitar instrumentals.P

                                                                      Goodnight Irine

Phelps continued to stretch out with 2010's Magnetic Skyline, a collaborative project with singer and songwriter Corinne West. Returning to the studio with longtime producer and collaborator Steve Dawson, Phelps recorded what ended up being his last studio album. Released in 2012 by Canadian label Black Hen, Brother Sinner & the Whale was a collection of mostly original blues and folk tunes about spiritual themes. A year after its release, Phelps was diagnosed with ulnar neuropathy, which led him to retire from touring and recording. Kelly Joe Phelps died in Iowa on March 31, 2022; he was 62 years old.

BB King at he Sing Sing Prison ( 22 nov 1972)


 BB King was scared to set foot in Sing Sing prison to play for the inmates, but later said it was the best performance of his life King opens the show with a bit of banter with the inmates, showing he had some real comedy chops as well as guitar chops.

 BB King - How Blue Can You Get?/Guess Who (Someone Really Loves You)/I Think You're Cheatin' On Me, Baby

King gave the performance on Thanksgiving in 1972, at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York. While talking to NPR, the guitarist explained his reticence to play the prison, saying “I’ve played a lot of prisons since but Sing Sing is the only one that I can remember the name of and the reason is because I was scared. I thought it was the end of my life.”
