Check out these intimate Occupy Wall Street  photos by the great photographer Joe Rosen, who also contributed many fine photos of legendary blues musicians to my upcoming eBook, The Language of the Blues!

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.

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!

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”…!

I love Fender’s Girl Rock Nation blog – it motivates and inspires young women to rock in whatever they do – whether that’s picking up a guitar, writing a song, mixing sounds to make music or just rocking in life. Check out what GRN had to say about my Xmas single and Devi’s first live video!

How do you rock?
