Hubert Sumlin: A Guitarist and a Gentleman
I’m sad to report the passing of a fine bluesman, a truly original & groundbreaking guitarist and a real gentleman, Mr. Hubert Sumlin. He gave a wonderful interview for my book The Language of the Blues – sharing remarkable stories about his relationship with Howlin Wolf, why Wolf wrote “Killing Floor,” and more.
Here’s a great new photo of Hubert Sumlin with one of my favorite guitarists, Elliott Sharp, that will appear in the new eBook version of The Language of the Blues, coming this month from Guitar International.
Thank you, Mr. Sumlin, and God bless you.

Devi in Vintage Guitar Magazine
If you love guitars like I love guitars, you’ll understand why I’m so thrilled to see our new live video of “When It Comes Down” featured on Vintage Guitar magazine’s website, along with a nice write-up of the Get Free album.
The band’s strengths are on display on “When It Comes Down,” a song with a melancholy feel, great hooks, and a soaring guitar solo that fits perfectly.
Thanks VG!
Best Xmas Present Evah!
New tubes for my amp! From my brother Serv-O, who drums for Panzie, Vulgaras and Bile. Thanks bro, you know the way to my loud heart!
More Silent Night – from Stevie Nicks & The Kills
Kinda sweet to be mentioned in the same paragraph as the wonderful Stevie Nicks!
“Debra Devi’s lush indie-rock take on the oft-covered “Silent Night” features a reverb-drenched Fender Strat, Mellotron shimmers, and soaring vocals from Debra, adding her name to the long list of those who have recorded the song, including Stevie Nicks …”
Stevie’s cover of “Silent Night” is gorgeous – I really dig the new version from The Kills, too.
Better dust off my covers of “Landslide,” “Gold Dust Woman” and “Dreams”…!
