2011. He seamlessly, moves between the neck-hair-tingling intro to ‘Love Of

‘Hole in the Heart of the Blues’ to the traditional ‘Greens & Barbecue’. “Micki

Beverly ‘Guitar’ Watkins – Back In Business £8.99 – Beverly "Guitar"
Watkins is a fan of the low-down, hard-stompin', railroad-smokin' blues.
Her feel- good sessions in the late 50s and early 60s may have ignited the
spark that fueled the British Invasion. She'll tell you, "People are impressed
to see a black woman play like a man." A guitar slinger from birth, she
performs on the streets of Atlanta by blowing the crowds away with her
unadulterated brand of blues. This is a highly charged record by this
powerful performer. Originally released in 1999.
This is a rare CD and we are sure this is the cheapest price in the UK. Only 4 available at this price.
Terry Evans – Live Like A Hurricane £8.99 - Over an hour live recording in an intimate club. Evans is
animated, whooping and hollering with obvious passion and the band plays with conviction. He's in fine
gutsy voice throughout, ripping into a selection of his most potent gospel-laced Southern R&B with a
tight band in front of an enthusiastic audience. Only 5 available at this low price.
