Well I’m glad that today is nearing completion because. I’ve been in a really rough patch since about 9am. And I’m just getting it together now.

Well it’s yet another Monday morning and the start of another week, oh how the heck does the weekend go by so quickly. It’s a mystery why and how it goes. My usual thought for a Monday is “ thank f*** that I don’t have to worry about going to work” especially when it’s cold, wet and windy outside lol. I do miss the banter with the guys. Mmm than again got to be honest I don’t miss it. Especially from one guy who just didn’t get it when to STOP!!!! You’ve all meet one. I’m sure you have. Most of us wishing that we hadn’t. I’m still in my blues mode, and I think it’s not going to change anytime soon. But then again it just depends how I feel when choosing my next album. I’m in a constant state of flux with my musical listening process. It’s an absolute incredible journey experience within my own making the level of quality is imho extremely “high” and “versatile” enough that. I don’t get stale with the plethora of indifferences with the music and myself. I can go from listening to classical to slayer and then god knows what and still be in the zone. Or as. I put it that. I’m in my secret garden. Wow the latest album is already on track seven of ten. Ouch’s getting too the point where yours truly as to be thinking about the next album. Mmm maybe a Ray LaMontagne album as. I’ve not heard his music in ages. I’m actually starting to daydream along with the music how cool is that.

Edie Brickell & New Bohemians is an alternative rock jam band that originated in Dallas, Texas, in the mid-1980s. The band is widely known for their 1988 hit "What I Am" from the album Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars. Their music contains elements of rock, folk, blues, and jazz.

Troy Redfern combines the rawness of Hound Dog Taylor, the free-form approach of Sonny Sharrock, the firebrand playing of Johnny Winter and the technique of Dave Hole, mixed with the ghost of Elmore James'. There's something about the Welsh marches. As guitarist Troy Redfern tells it, he grew up in the shadow of Hergest Ridge, made famous by Mike Oldfield. The Welsh borders - roughly that area between Hay on Way, Brecon and Hereford - might not quite evoke the arresting geography and climate of say Louisiana, but there's something about the freedom of that area... It all fits perfectly into Troy Redfern's world. He's a passionate, intense, free spirited indie blues artist whose ferocious slide guitar style twists and turns timeless themes and ideas to his own ends. In the studio, the multi instrumental slide guitarist and producer is a one man band who painstakingly pays attention to the minutiae of his tone, the imaginary arrangements and noir filled lyrics. As a band leader he's trusting enough to know that wherever his spontaneity takes him he has a locked in rhythm section that will push him to the limit while also giving him a safety net. Back in the studio, he does it all himself, and it's hard to grasp his unrelenting energy. He's a musical visionary unafraid to trample on the boundaries of restricting labels. His talent spans ferocious slide playing, thoughtful production, passionate vocals and an approach to contemporary indie blues that references delta blues roots, while turning familiar emotions, themes and riffs from a bygone era into a broad based contemporary musical template. Troy ushers us into a restless, musical journey that spans big musical vistas. He's a guitarist for whom tone, feel and grooves are his working tools and while his songs range from a whisper to a scream, he performs a balancing act between pure spontaneity and deep grooves. His music is physical, engaging and emotive and worthy of hip references like indie blues, except it's backed up by real substance and stretched to the limit by virtuoso solos. When you listen to Troy Redfern you're buying into a new world vision where his high energy approach uncompromisingly hits you in the guts before making a cerebral connection.
