Wanted: Guitar Heroes

Thanks for the suggestion! I looked him up and listened to a few of his Macedonian folk dance songs. Very good indeed! Also, it was really interesting listening to traditional Macedonian music. Felt like having lots of Balkan elements but also a few eastern (like Greek and Turkish) components to it.

Also learned At Pazar is Horse Bazaar!

Which just reminds me, some Greeks say ati for horse. I should have made the connections earlier..!

Beth Hart has blown me away with her vocal chops. She does some utterly brilliant Led Zep covers. But in this case, a classic blues song she now owns "I'd Rather Go Blind". Accompanied by Joe Bonamassa, they transcend me:

Another version here sees her with Jeff Beck singing the same song. Both versions are incredible and equally brilliant.

A very deep dive indeed. Not much oxygen at that level I imagine ;-)

(nevertheless, amusing and entertaining)

This popped up on youtube for me not too long ago. Thought it was decent for a pop song. Skopski dialect?

Marcus King is the full package. Bluesman, soul-man and vocalist.
Follow this (very) young man and be rewarded. May he live long and share his magic for many years. What a guitarist! What a singer!

What a find Risto! He's coming to 'straya in April next year.

This comment on the older video speaks volumes.

Pretty damn good blues . Its sad that we have these bizarre people at the top of the charts while truly talented people go without recognition .

Thanks for the heads up, Kompir. I'll fly to wherever he's playing.
