    This woman is a MONSTER guitarist and a great singer as well. She so far, for most has been a hidden gem, but thanks to the web, more and more are hearing her.
    She has been paying her dues for a long time and deserves a break. It was really good to see her on one of Joe Bonamassa's Blues Cruises, in that Joe with all of his success
    was quick to recognize her incredible talent.

    • @jasstack

      I think the bass player is holding the band back on this song. When he enters this song, it is at a slightly slower tempo and the band adjusts, but that is not the tempo chosen by the first player when starting the song. she takes a break, restarts at her original tempo, and then the bass player enters and sludges it up again. perhaps the bass player's tempo was selected at practice, I don't know. I'm not asking for a showman, just more artistic involvement verses working as a craftsman.

Great job with this old John Lee Hooker’s rhythmic blues classic, adding ZZ Top’s edginess, Magic Slim, a little SRV, and her own bad mama attitude, of course. I wish SRV had lived to jam with her. She’d a pushed him some.
