Toronzo’s Tasty Blues!
More than “just” a great blues player, Toronzo Cannon is an outspoken supporter and fan of the form. His dedication extends to the guitar he plays here, made with wood repurposed from Muddy Waters’ home at 4339 South Lake Park Avenue. Built in Chicago by GTR, he plugged it into a Victoria Silver Sonic amp to tease us with a snippet of “Something To Do, Man,” one of the standout tracks from his new album “Shut Up & Play!” Catch our review in the September issue.

Rocky Athas’ Texas ’Tude!
Dallas guy Rocky Athas built a career playing blues in the vain of T-Bone and SRV, but his new album, “Livin’ My Best Life,” is more Houston/BFG-flavored. Here, he and his ’69 Gibson Les Paul Custom (running through an Ibanez TS-10 and a Fender Reverb tank going to a vintage Lab Series L-5) play riffs from three songs – “Dark Days,” the title track, and “Walk In My Shadow.” Our review of “Livin’ My Best Life” and interview with Rocky appear in the September issue.
