Spanish boogie woogie master Llu?s Coloma shines on a new album called "Boogie Portraits." Except for one track, all the pieces feature piano duets, and the strength of the album rests as much on the

James Johnson of Clarksdale MS is better known as "Super Chikan." His unorthodox spelling of "Chicken" is hardly the only unusual thing about him. Chikan has a unique sense of humor and is a keen

Memphis Minnie was one of the greatest blues women. Unlike many of her female contemporaries, who sang in front of uptown, jazzy bands, Minnie played guitar - very distinctively - and gave us raw,
