~ Willie Dixon

“The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential." ~ Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) Yes, this week I have the blues.

To Spotify or not to Spotify? - that is the question. Obviously the answer in this instance is yes, but this week I delve into the recent Joe Rogan/Neil Young controversy and have a deeper look at what it means to be an artist on the popular music streaming platform. Also in this episode I preview another new track from my forthcoming album, as well as share another Highly Recommended playlist on Spotify. (Oh, the irony).
