If you are like me, you are always looking for great new music to listen to while on your bike, and some of my best finds
have been suggested by friends and fellow riders. Personally I have been listening to rock and blues music since I was a
wee lad, and that still makes up the bulk of my collection. However, you will also find a good deal of Jimmy Buffet, John Prine,
and a few country selections thrown in for good measure.
Below you will find a few albums for my current play-lists.

So why is Chickenfoot's second album called "III?" My guess is that it is a bit of a dig at Van Halen,
in that their second album was titled an uninspired "Van Halen II." Whatever the reason, this is another
excellent album from the super group of Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith.

I have been a fan of the "Texican" blues rock of Los Lonley Boys from their first album. Rockpango
continues a string of great efforts from the Garza brothers.

The Delta Generators and a local Boston area, blues band. I
have seen them live a couple of times when they opened up for Popa Chubby and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. They are a talented
group of young blues artists. If you like your blues rock'in give these guys a listen.

I found this album while searching the iTunes new and noteworthy selections. Samantha plays a mean guitar
and has a quirky little voice--making it perfect for the blues.

Black Country Communion is a blues rock super group, composed of Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple and Black Sabbath), Joe
Bonamassa, Jason Bonham (Led Zeppelin, Foreigner) and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater). This is Blues Rock with grit.

Seasick Steve is another on that has been around for some time, but I am just discovering. His latest album is down and dirty
blues—just the kind I like-with a southern twang, perfect road music.

These guys have been around for a while, but I discovered them with their third album “Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.”
For me they sound like Lynard Skynard on steroids. One of my favorite albums of the year!

Another fantastic effort by the prolific, Joe Bonammasa. I will say it again, if you like the
blues and just damn good guitar playing, this album should be in your collection.

This is the Doobies first album in about 10 years, and I think one of their best. It reminds me of the kind of music
they were creating on albums like the "Captain and Me" and "Toulouse Street." If you are a Doobies fan or just fan of good
music, buy this CD.

Stevie "Guitar" Miller covering some blues classics. I have really enjoyed this album, it has a fun
upbeat tone and I think Steve Miller's best effort in a while.

Yes, this is the 1980's hair band Krokus. They have been recording and touring in various incarnations for a couple of decades,
but this album marks the reunion of the original members. This is straight forward rock and roll with a punch, in the style
of the AC/DC during the Bon Scott days.

If you like the blues and just damn good guitar playing, this album should be in your collection. Joe Bonamassa is without
a doubt one of the best blues, rock guitarist of his generation.

I stumbled across this album while perusing iTunes. The band is from Denmark and they play some really
good blues rock. Definitely worth a listen.
