Remembering Days of Old

Time does strange things to people. I have been retrospective as of late remembering some music and bands of local flavor. You may have never heard of these groups that I'm about to mention, but trust me when I saw that it is not all about Prince in the Twin Cities. The first band that I will introduce you to is The Lamont Cranston Blues Band. Some of the artists in the band were background players to Bonnie Raitt when she cut her first album here in Minnesota. The first song is "E-Jam." The next is an ode to the beginning of the Big River: "Upper Mississippi Shakedown." Now it is time to kick it old school with The Wallets, "Totally Nude." The funkiest grooviest jams are to be had by The Suburbs first off with, "Waiting"; the next song has the strongest grooves for shaking your tush: "Music For Boys."
